The most beautiful religious buildings Saint-Brelade

This is a charming little chapel adjoining the church of Saint-Brélade and built around the 12th century. Inside, one can observe wall frescoes from the 14th and 15th centuries, partly covered at the time of the Reformation. The chapel is built of large pebbles bound with a mortar of crushed shells and mixed with sea water. The stone roof was raised in the 14th century. To this day, it is not known if the name of the chapel (Fisherman) refers to Jersey fishermen or if the term was used to refer to fishermen.

The church and adjacent cemetery dominate the beach. Founded in the ^11th century, during the Norman period, the church has expanded over the years. This is the reason for its somewhat motley architecture, which makes it all the more charming. The interior features a pre-Reformation baptismal font. The nave and choir date from the Romanesque period. The altar stone dates from the ^13th century. The cemetery is considered one of the most beautiful marine cemeteries in the world. It is magnificently embellished by immense oak trees. It's an enchanting place.
