Gothic chapel of Kermaria An Iskuit, with a fresco of danse macabre and a porch with statues of the apostles.
This 13th-century Gothic chapel, modified several times thereafter, is famous for its Dance of Death fresco, a rare example of medieval macabre art. Dating from the 15th century, this strip painted on each side of the nave walls features 47 characters, symbolizing all social strata: the ploughman, the shoemaker, the king and even the pope... They all hold hands in the great farandole led by death. The south porch houses the statues of the apostles.

Très jolie chapelle construite il y a plusieurs siècles. le porche d'entrée comporte les statues des 12 apôtres, et l'intérieur est décoré de fresques assez bien conservées. L'été, des concerts y sont organisés et il y a souvent une personne à qui on peut demander des renseignements à son sujet.
