Église Saint-Guen

The Église Saint-Guen, designed for a new parish in the expanding Ménimur neighborhood of Vannes, is one of the first churches in Brittany built after Vatican II, implementing its liturgical guidelines. This structure, capable of accommodating up to 1,000 worshippers, emphasizes geometry and light, utilizing basic forms such as triangles as a modular principle and incorporating pyramidal symbolism. The bright, welcoming interior features a glued-laminated wood frame and stained glass designed by Claude Guillemot, creating a colorful band between the masonry and roof while fostering an organic connection between the congregation and the celebrant.
