La maison des moines...
Au cœur de la forêt de Brocéliande, en bordure de l'étang de Paimpont, l’abbaye forme un ensemble architectural plutôt imposant composé principalement d’un grand bâtiment, abritant aujourd’hui le presbytère et la mairie, prolongé par l'abbatiale dédiée à Notre-Dame de Paimpont.
Fondée au 7e siècle, l’abbaye, qui n’est à l’époque qu’un modeste prieuré, est détruite au 9e siècle lors des invasions normandes. A la fin du 11e siècle, on reconstruit une église romane ; c’est sans doute de cette époque que datent les murs les plus anciens (façade ouest, contreforts). Au 13e siècle, l’église romane est transformée dans le style gothique. Le bâtiment orienté nord-sud appelé "Le Grand Logis" est érigé au 17e siècle pour loger les moines augustins.
THE HOUSE OF THE MONKS. In the heart of the Brocéliande forest, on the edge of the Paimpont pond, the abbey forms a rather imposing architectural ensemble composed mainly of a large building, now housing the presbytery and the town hall, extended by the abbey church dedicated to Notre-Dame de Paimpont.
Founded in the 7th century, the abbey, which was then only a modest priory, was destroyed in the 9th century during the Norman invasions. At the end of the 11th century, a Romanesque church was rebuilt; It is undoubtedly from this period that date the oldest walls (west facade, buttresses). In the 13th century, the Romanesque church was transformed into the Gothic style. The north-south oriented building called "Le Grand Logis" was erected in the 17th century to house the Augustinian monks.
