Origin and history

The Saint-Guénolé chapel of Plougastel-Daoulas, built in the 16th century, is an emblematic monument of the Breton region. Located in the Finistère, it reflects the religious architecture of this period, marked by Gothic and local influences. Its registration as a Historic Monument in 1932 underlines its heritage value and its importance for the commune.

The chapel, a municipal property, is located precisely at 8 St.Guenole in Plougastel-Daoulas. Although details of its current use (visits, rental, accommodation) are not specified, its protected status guarantees its preservation. Available sources, such as Monumentum, confirm its role in the Breton cultural landscape.

In the 16th century, Breton chapels often served as places of worship for local communities, while playing a social and identity role. Their construction was generally linked to popular devotion or seigneurial initiatives. In this context, the chapel of Saint-Guénolé is part of a tradition of shared religious heritage, typical of the Brittany of the time.
