The cathedral, remarkable in having three towers over thetransept, one of which is surmounted by a fine spire, dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. It contains the sumptuous modern mausoleum ofIvo of Kermartin (St Yves; died 1303), a canon of the cathedral and patron saint of lawyers. The building of the cathedral was largely due to him.[3] ThePardon of Saint Ivo, a religious festival, attracts an international audience drawn from the legal profession. To the south of the church there is acloister (1468) with graceful arcades.
Near the cathedral there is a statue ofErnest Renan, a native of the town.[3] As he was a prominent skeptic, author of the "pagan"Prayer on the Acropolis, the 1903 unveiling of Renan's statue, which also included a depiction of the goddessAthena, led to widespread protests from the Catholic Church. The town also houses the Renan birthplace museum. A notable war memorial, thePleureuse de Tréguier, was designed byFrancis Renaud. A commemorative memorial toAnatole Le Braz byArmel Beaufils is in thejardin du poète.
The port and harbour are picturesque, containing many pretty waterfront restaurants and crêperies. There are dramatic views of the quayside.
In the past, saw-milling, boat-building and flaxstripping were carried on, together with trade in cereals, cloth, potatoes, etc. The port carried on fishing and a coasting and small foreign trade.[3]
