Quimper (Hurmu Norse: Kemper) is the capital of Normandie. Quimper is a mid-sized city located in the region of Normandie, with a population of 181,343 as of 1744. It is considered one of the cultural and historical centres of Norman heritage. Since 1744, Quimper has served as the capital of Normandie, following the formal establishment of the region as an autonomous entity. The city is renowned for its well-preserved architecture, academic institutions, and rich history.
Quimper lies along the confluence of the rivers Isole, Scorff, and Loire. The famous Lac Trieux (a lake) is also located within the city bounds.
The city's main landmark is the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, the main cathedral (despite its name) of the Norman church.
History
Hexarchian era
Historically known as Moonberg in Lysstyrer, the city originated as a modest settlement during the early medieval period. Its strategic location led to growing influence under the dominion of the Lysstyrer Autonomous Region. This period left a visible imprint on the city’s language, customs, and architectural style. In 1736 AN, Quimper officially withdrew from Lysstyrer control and established itself as an Quimper Civic Administration. Its independence lasted only 29 days before it was taken over by the Vanic remnant. It was one of the main headquarters for the Neo-Vanic resistance axis. The Keltia Restoration Movement came into conflict with the Confederacy of Dispossessed. In 1744 AN, Theodoric van Orton formed the Normandy Revolt Army with people from the administrations. By 1744 AN, the region had been completely cleared of Neo-Vanic influence. This transition marked the beginning of significant local reforms and rapid economic growth. During this period, Quimper began to assert itself as a regional hub of culture and politics.
