La nef de l’ancienne cathédrale de Tréguier et la formation d’une architecture gothique régionale
Abstracts
The nave of Tréguier cathedral is a good example of the ecclesiastical gothic architecture that developed in Britanny between the first half of the XIIIth century and the end of the medieval period. In spite of hesitations, which show that experiments were made, the architecture of the nave of Tréguier was new to France. It evokes both the massive architecture of the Norman Romanesque and the refinement of the Rayonnant. This combination was not really original for it occurred in England at the same time, and it appears that the English gothic strongly influenced the architects of Tréguier. However, since the particular vocabulary of the nave of Tréguier can be seen in the cathedrals and smaller churches of this region, we can say that it determined a very specific gothic style in Brittany.
