Le Couvent des Jacobins
Fondé au XIIe siècle grâce aux libéralités du duc de Bretagne.
Le couvent des Dominicains est repris au XVe siècle par les moines jacobins, dont l’église, fondée en 1230, est la plus ancienne de la ville. Ce vaste vaisseau, complété au XIVe siècle d’un collatéral et des deux rosaces et au XVe d’un faux transept, a été divisé par un plancher lors de la transformation du couvent en caserne au XIXe siècle. Le cloître a disparu et les bâtiments conventuels ont été profondément remaniés. Dans l’aile ouest se trouve aujourd’hui la salle d’exposition temporaire du Musée de Morlaix.

The Jacobean Convent
The convent was founded in the XII century thanks to the goodwill and generosity of the Duke of Brittany. Originally a Dominican convent, it was taken over by Jacobean monks during the XV century. Its church dates back to 1230 and is the oldest in the town. This spacious building, completed in the XIV century is renowned for its rose windows and its XV century false transept. During the XIX century, the convent was transformed into a barracks and a layer of wooden floorboards was used to divide the building into two storeys. The barracks later disappeared and the convent is now all that remains. Today, the temporary exhibition room of the Museum of Morlaix is found in the east wing.
