Facts and practical information

Daoulas Abbey is a former abbey of the Order of Saint Augustine located in the commune of Daoulas in the department of Finistère, in the region of Brittany, France.

Owned by the Finistère departmental council since 1984, the management of the abbey has been entrusted to the Etablissement Public de Coopération Culturelle Chemins du patrimoine en Finistère. Since January 1, 2006, five heritage estates in Finistère - Daoulas Abbey, Le Relec Abbey, Kernault Manor, Kerjean Castle and the Domaine de Trévarez - have been brought together within this public establishment for cultural cooperation "Chemins du patrimoine en Finistère". In 2009, these 5 facilities welcomed 173,555 visitors, which is a little more than 10% of the total number of visitors to the structures in Finistère.

The church and the cloister of the former abbey have been classified as historical monuments since July 12, 1886. After a registration in 1995, the porch of the abbey church, in its entirety, has been classified as a historical monument since March 29, 2004.
