The most beautiful religious buildings Côtes-D'Armor

The parish church was built at the end of the 19th century, between 1879 and 1884, thanks to a precious competition organised by locals and tourists. The religious building could not be constructed without aid from the State. The parish of Saint Quay-Portrieux is very old even if it has no detailed history about its origin. What is certain is that there was a parish in this place before the 12th century because it was given to the monastery of Léhon near Dinan, by Juthaël who was the Archbishop de Dol between 1039 and 1076.

Built in the th century, in the Gothic style, on the edge of the old route of communication Merdrignac-Moncontour, Saint Lambert Chapel welcomes a large number of pilgrims on the day of their forgiveness, the penultimate Sunday in July. Known as Chandelles festival, until the end of the th century, because of the many candles lit for the occasion. Saint-Lambert is generally relied on by his charities on the protection of livestock. In Saint-Vran it would appear that the water of the chapel fountain would have the particularity of treating sows and piglets. It would help to give the necessary milk to progenies and prémunirait against all hazardous diseases.

The chapel of Saint-Briac, known as Bodfo or Bodfao, was built in 1948. Its construction follows a vow made in 1944 by Canon Déréat, then pastor of Bourbriac, who wished to realize the religious edifice in memory of the end of the Second World War. The chapel of Saint-Briac-de-Bodfo was built at the location of a primitive chapel, built on the remains of an oratory built by Saint Briac.

The third oldest church in France, the Saint-Gal Church is of Gallo-Roman origin. During the renovation process, begun in 1980, the first traces of paintings covered by several layers of lime coating were discovered indoors. It has frescoes of the th and th centuries. Among the biblical characters identified on the frescoes, Meldisedech and Michel. Saint Michel is represented wearing a character, symbolizing a soul, in a linen. This representation of Saint Michel is extremely rare: it is only found on two other copies from Ireland and England.
