Guépin Barracks Gate
Ce point d’intérêt est disponible en audio dans le circuit: Visit Brest, Capital of the Oceans
This small square, known as Square l’Herminier, is home to the Guépin Barracks Gate, that is, the remains of a 17th-century barracks that was destroyed during World War II. The gate was once part of a religious school that later became the Guépin military barracks. You can still see naval symbols on the gate, hinting at the building’s military past before its total destruction. Well, the gate was the only one that survived and now stands in the very heart of Brest.
