Origin and history

The chapel Saint-Philibert de Trégunc, located in the eponymous village in Brittany (Finistère), was built around 1520, in the first half of the sixteenth century. Formerly designated as a chapel, it features a rectangular plan with two sides and a tapered bell on its western façade. Its high altar, decorated with carved woodwork, bears witness to a neat craftsmanship. This monument served as an architectural model, especially for the interior of the church of Our Lady of Kerven, located in the same parish.

The present building, built between 1558 and 1575, was listed as historic monuments on 11 May 1932. Initially a chapel, it was raised to the rank of parish church in 1946, becoming the seat of the parish of Saint-Philibert. Each year, a pardon (traditional Breton pilgrimage) takes place on the last Sunday in August. Nearby, a fountain of devotion and two protohistoric steles recall the historical and religious anchoring of the site.

The chapel, owned by the commune of Trégunc (code Insee 29293), is located at 6 Hent An Aod. Its architecture and history reflect the importance of places of worship in Breton community life, between devotion, heritage and local traditions. The available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) highlight its role both spiritual and cultural, marked by centuries of religious practices and architectural evolutions.
