Malansac
Discover its
History and heritage
His origins
Malansac derives from the Latin mediolanum otherwise known as “village of the plain“. From the 16th to the 20th century, Malansac forged its reputation on the exploitation of the shale present on the site of the slate quarries, owned by the Lords of Rochefort.
Malansac was erected as a commune in 1790, and became part of the canton of Rochefort in 1801. From the eighteenth century until the early twentieth century, Malansac is famous for its pottery, hence the place of the Pots Kilns.
The church of Notre-Dame (1694 and 1858), founded by the Lords of Rochefort, bears its date of construction engraved above the oculus of the north wall. It consists of a nave with aisles, a transept and a polygonal choir.
