The most beautiful churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels Morbihan

Built in the middle of the 18th century, the Chapel of Saint William was completely restored around 1830. This one is located in front of the island of Saint-Cado, in a magnificent site on the edge of the Ria d'Etel. Saint William, a Breton bishop born in Saint-Alban near Lamballe around 1175, died in 1234. It is used to cure rheumatism and gout. Namely: every year, forgiveness is celebrated on the last Sunday in July. The village of Nestadio is also worth a visit for its beautiful houses with their elaborate facades, mullioned windows and vast fireplaces.

Located on the former fairground and the current Place Saint-Michel, this chapel is a 17th century work renovated at the beginning of the 20th century. Its location, under the foliage of trees, contributes greatly to its charm. Among the curiosities is a bell dated 1670, where an annual pardon is celebrated every August 15. It can no longer be visited today, but its surroundings are very pleasant.

It was during the first half of the 16th century that the construction of the chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Good News, patron saint of travellers and sailors, began. Originally, it was shaped like a barn because it had no bell tower and the floor was only clay. Over the years, the building fell into ruins. It was in 1841 that a text mentioned the need to rebuild a church. The chapel was demolished and in 1843, on June 15 of the Feast of God, the first stone of the new Damgan church was blessed.

Néogothique style, it was built in 1914, replacing a very old church destroyed the year before. But the first negotiations for the new building went back as far as 1879… One of the characteristics of this church is that it does not have a bell tower! The Madeleine village also has its own history. It is a former leprosarium from the 12c which includes, among other remains, the aisle of Corderie, the hospital's ruined walls and two crosses carved in stone by lepers.

Also known as Notre-Dame-des-Anges chapel, the chapel of the Trinity dates from the beginning of the fifteenth century and is located in Kerner, an important village in the municipality of Riantec formerly populated by fishermen. This beautiful granite building bears the brand of Brittany: the coat of thumb. It can also be seen as a boat carene arch. The chapel contains wooden statues of the nineteenth century and extraordinary furniture. And, despite a clothy of the twentieth century, the frame is of origin. Please note: Not far from there is also the fountain of the Trinity.

During your walks in Ploemeur, you will discover many old chapels including the one of Saint-Simon and Saint-Jude. Built in the 16th century, it was redesigned in the 18th century and its walls, roof and altarpiece were restored in the 1980s. For walkers, its location is ideal since it is only a few steps from the Kaolins beach, on the edge of the golf course of Ploemeur. The Saint-Simon-et-Saint-Jude chapel still houses furniture from the late 17th and early 18th centuries. You can also discover a very old statue of Saint Ninnoch, patron saint of Ploemeur.

Located in a region previously very rich in megalithic alignments, the Saint-Cornely chapel was once very famous for the blessing of horses and animals in general. Its exterior and interior walls are whitewashed and it contains the processional statues of Saint Cornelius and the Virgin Mary, as well as several banners and banners. Near the chapel, you can discover a blessed cross and a fountain made of beautiful cut stones. The latter was built in 1716 and is surrounded by an enclosure.

Before being a chapel, this place was a garage in 1924. During the summer, mass is served by a Kervoyal Priest. Destroyed by the Germans in 1942, this chapel with bell gable was rebuilt thanks to the generosity of its inhabitants. It houses a 15th century polychrome wooden statue of Saint Guérin and a statue of the Virgin and Saint Léger. It was consecrated in 1958.

Overlooking the houses of the village of the top of its fifty meters, the church Notre-Dame-de-Grâce dates back to 1872. Inside this Gothic building, designed by a briochin architect, the furniture of the choir with its woodwork, its clear tracks and its stalemate are the sculptor's work Le Brun. Every year, the procession of forgiveness goes from the next fountain to the cross of the Pontoir.

In the heart of the village, just a few steps from the sea, St. Michel's Chapel looks back to the th century, as its particularly ancestral foundations attest. It would appear, given its clocheton and openings, that it would have been rebuilt in the th century. The interior houses a remarkable three processional poles. The forgiveness takes place on Sunday closest to the feast of Saint Michel (29 September).
