Notre Dame de Roscudon Church

Notre-Dame-de-Roscudon is a Catholic church in Pont-Croix, in the French department of Finistère. Built from the 13th century through successive additions, until the second quarter of the 16th century thanks to the patronage of the lords of Pont-Croix, then their allies and descendants from the House of Rosmadec, it is an example of the patronage of the local Breton aristocracy, and bears witness to the permanence of this noble lineage throughout the three centuries of its construction. It is the most important monument of what has been called the École de Pont-Croix, which is a group of monuments to the west of Quimper that display a series of particular stylistic characteristics that have long led them to be regarded as Romanesque buildings. In reality, the church of Pont-Croix is a Gothic construction which, according to some authors, shows a strong influence from English constructions, particularly from the south-western quarter of England; according to other art historians, it reinterprets Breton Romanesque constructions as a reaction against the influence exerted by the Gothic forms of Île-de-France. In either case, it has in turn inspired a large number of Cornish buildings, such as the Saint-Herbot chapel in Plonevez-du-Faou. The building is listed as a Monument historique (in english: historic monument), and houses a number of protected objects: several altarpieces, a pulpit, a flamboyant organ loft and a sculpture of the Last Supper.
