Two rivers that attract anglers and religious buildings with clearly datable histories give Lannebert two distinct themes to explore. The Leff and the Kerguidoué represent the fishing theme; the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Liscorno, the Église Saint-Evence and the Fontaine Saint-Évence reveal several historical periods. For your travel decision, this means you can choose Lannebert based on whether rivers and fishing or church and architectural history better match your interests. Those who appreciate both will find two thematic sides to the place here.

Rivers and fishing

The Leff is one of Lannebert’s two rivers; the Kerguidoué is the other. Both attract anglers. If fishing is your focus, these two named waterways provide points of reference. For those interested in culture, the emphasis is different: the building history and its specific dates can help you choose which themes to explore further. This contrast can be useful when planning your trip, whether you want to focus on one theme or include both fishing and culture among your interests.

Chapel and religious tradition

The Chapelle Notre-Dame de Liscorno was built in the 13th century by the lords of Coëtmen. Historically, it soon became a popular place of worship; pilgrimages, miracles and healings were reported. The chapel thus combines a precisely dated construction period with a historical religious tradition that extends beyond its architecture.

The building history of the Église Saint-Evence

A former chapel dating from 1482 stood on the site of the Église Saint-Evence; it became a church in 1588. Today’s Église Saint-Evence is in the Neo-Romanesque style; its foundation stone was blessed on 10 June 1894. These dates mark different stages: the former chapel, its development into a church, and the foundation stone of the present building. The year 1894 should therefore not be equated with the origin of the religious site. Numerous modern stained-glass windows illuminate the nave; the Klein workshop in Rennes installed them in 1969. Alongside the older building phases, this adds a specific architectural style and a more recent, dated feature. Those interested in churches can consider both the architecture and the sequence of events.

Fountain and Pardon

The Fontaine Saint-Évence adds a distinct feature in the town centre to the history of the chapel and church. The fountain dates from the 18th century and is topped by a statue of Saint Évence. Its date falls between the medieval chapel of Liscorno and the later building phases of the Église Saint-Evence. It therefore provides another independent point of reference for Lannebert’s historical character.

If you want to plan your trip around the Pardon at the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Liscorno, the first Sunday in September is given as the date. Check in advance whether it applies in the year concerned. This distinguishes the Pardon as a date-dependent occasion from the historical details of the buildings and their features.
