School of Bridge-Cross
The École of Bridge-Cross is a term created to return account the unit of style of several churches and vaults of ogival style also said (Gothic) built to the XIIIe and 14th centuries in the neighborhoods of Bridge-Cross, chief town of canton of the South-west of the Finistere (Brittany).
It is allowed that it is the influence of the Cathédrale S Anglo-Norman which was at the origin of this style applied to the granite, much more difficult to work than the calcareous stone of Caen.
The exemplary building is the imposing church of Bridge-Cross whose low nave of late Romance style is prolonged by a transept and an ogival chorus in second half of XIIIe century. The church of Beuzec-Cape-Sizun, with six kilometers, seems a kind of reduction of that of the chief town of canton. Poullan-on-Sea and especially the ruins of the Saint-Guy vault in Languidou in Plovan are other examples.
