Abbey of Saint-Mathieu de Fine-Terre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Abbey of Saint-Mathieu de Fine-Terre (French: Abbaye Saint-Mathieu de Fine-Terre; Breton: Abati Lokmazhe Penn-ar-Bed) is a former Breton monastery, whose ruins are found in the territory of what is now the commune of Plougonvelin on Pointe Saint-Mathieu (Breton: Beg Lokmazhe), in the département of Finistère. The Abbey gives the cape its name.[1] It was dedicated to Saint Matthew the Evangelist, whose skull it housed. It was a Benedictine abbey, and was revived and reformed by the Maurists in the mid-17th century.[2]
