A witness of the 18th century, the Chapel of the Holy Spirit in Quimper is a beautiful illustration of the architectural design of the Jesuit order. "The life of the chapel is inseparable from that of the adjacent buildings: a seminary before the revolution, a prison during the Reign of Terror, a military hospital, a place where abandoned children, the sick and the elderly are housed under the guidance of the nuns. From 1873 to 1985, these seminary buildings became the hospital of Quimper."
