The most beautiful religious buildings Finistère

Located on the Roman road Quimper-Vannes, the small chapel of the Moustoir de Kernével is worth a visit because it is the only chapel in Finistère dedicated to Saint Maurice, a Cistercian monk. A former Templar chapel, the Moustoir chapel, in the flamboyant Breton Renaissance style, has a central nave, a truncated choir and two asymmetrical aisles. It should be noted that it was built from XVᵉ to XVIᵉ century near the important Gallo-Roman road used for the Tro Breizh pilgrimage. It was classified as a Historic Monument in 1910 and since then, the committee for the preservation of the chapel has been doing its utmost to restore it.

Built in the 12th, 14th and 17th centuries, Notre-Dame Church is located just next to the pond. It is distinguished by the construction of its 14th century Breton bell tower, unhewn, topped by a slender spire. At the base of the tower, you can also see its magnificent 14th century porch. Inside the church, we discover a tomb (work of the Flemish school) located under the gilded altarpiece while above we admire a large painting of the Assumption of the Virgin by Nicolas Loir. The bell tower, apse and portal of the church have been listed since 1914, while the cemetery surrounding the church, with its enclosure wall and the calvary incorporated into it, have been listed since 1940.
