active fishing industry. The town contains many houses of the 15th and 16th centuries and other old buildings, the
chief
  of which is the church of St Jean-du-Baly (16th and 17th centuries). On an eminence close to Lannion is the church of Brelevenez of the 12th century, restored in the 15th or 16th century; it has an interesting 16th-century Holy Sepulchre.
Some 6 in. S.E. of the town are the imposing ruins of the chateau of Tonquedec (c. 1400) styled the "
Pierrefonds
  of Brittany," and there are other buildings of antiquarian
interest
  in the vicinity. The
coast
  north of Lannion at Tregastel and Ploumanac presents curious
rock
  formations.
Lannion is ;he seat of a subprefect and has a tribunal of first instance and a communal college. Its
industries
  include saw-milling, tanning and the manufacture of farm implements. The town was taken in 1346 by the English; it was defended against them by
Geoffroy
  de Pontblanc whose valour is commemorated by a
cross
  close to the spot where he was slain.
