Built in the middle of the 16th century and in the shape of a Latin cross, it is an unusual chapel whose bell tower in the centre of the building ends in an octagonal stone spire, and above all there is a three-breasted Virgin, Santes Gwen Teirbronn feeding her three sons, Saint Guénolé, Saint Jacut and Saint Venec. The Saint-Vénec chapel has a triangular base calvary dating back to 1556. The massif supports statues depicting the twelve apostles whose names are inscribed on the base. At the foot of the cross, you can discover Our Lady of Mercy surrounded by the Holy Women. Halfway up the body of the cross, small consoles support the statues of Saint Mary Magdalene, the Virgin and Saint John. Finally, at the top, angels collect the blood of Christ crucified in chalices. All the statues surrounding the Calvary rest on consoles decorated with anthropomorphic figures. Below the chapel and the Calvary, there is also a fountain dating from the 16th century dedicated to Saint Vénec. This religious building is classified as a Historic Monument.
