The most beautiful religious buildings France

In the Gothic style, brick on sandstone base, its listed gate dating back to 1582 is him in Renaissance style. The rich furniture of the interior comes from the recollet convent. Its stained-glass windows of different colours make it one of the most exceptional churches in Northern France.

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.

In a genoese style and classified Historic Monument, this church built in 1560 is closely linked to the history of Cannet. Its original architecture reveals the four successive enlargements carried out over the centuries. It includes a nef and abse, three side chapels and a quadrangular bell tower preceded by a vestibule. 500 m² of decorative wall paintings and motifs were restored: The frescoes were restored to their original beauty. You can also admire the two great Baroque altars, the shimmered paintings glued onto the XVIIIth century arch, the baptismal fonts, the tabernacles and the ex-voto.

The visit is to be done! Enter the Jewish door and raise your eyes towards a small Italian organ. Its ornate Baroque decor was classified by Historical Monuments in 1849. The nave, with its late Romanesque vaults, houses statues before each pillar. The golden altarpiece has a central panel dating back to 1480, dedicated to Saint Georges. Side panels (1532) present Saint Maurice, patron of the city. The tomb of white marble (1501) is that of a vice-king of Naples: Estienne de Vesc. A persistent legend says that under the current church, an underground church is buried as high as the visible church.

On the hills, you will find this small chapel that offers a beautiful view of the village. Tradition demands that women wishing to have a child should go up to the chapel with an egg in each hand during a first pilgrimage (Easter Monday), swallow one and burry another on the site. Their wish was granted if during the second pilgrimage (September 8), they found the second egg intact where they had buried it!

Classified as a historical monument, it was destroyed and then rebuilt between the 12th and 14th centuries. The Saint-Sauveur church is in the Provencal Romanesque style, especially its central nave and its basements. The lateral naves have been added to the 16th and 17th centuries, with gothic decorative elements. The church houses an organ of baroque style and the oldest and the most elaborate wrought iron bell tower in Provence (1725).

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.
