Abbey of Paimpont

Built by the King of Dumnonia in the 7th century, cleared by Vikings three centuries later ~ the present buildings are works from the 11th, 13th, 15th and 17th century. (Some curious custom of only building in 'odd' centuries perhaps?)

The Abbey is home to many fine treasures ~ a statue of Our Lady of Paimpont, the golden reliquary hand of Saint Judicael and a carved ivory Christ.
