Origin and history

The Chapel of Cohazé, located in Saint-Thuriau in Morbihan (British), is a religious building built in the 16th century. It consists of a nave, a transept, and a flat bedside, with a western facade with a bell tower. Inside, the carved sandstones and entrances, as well as the 16th century stained glass windows illustrating scenes from the New Testament, bear witness to its artistic and architectural heritage.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 8 June 1925, the chapel today belongs to the commune of Saint-Thuriau. Its location, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), is documented in the Merimée database under Insee code 56237. Although its access to the public (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the sources, its inscription underlines its heritage importance.

The protected elements include the entire chapel (cadastre ZV 1), with special attention to its interior decorations and stained glass windows. The latter, typical of Breton Renaissance religious art, offer an overview of the techniques and iconographic themes of the time. The chapel thus embodies a spiritual and artistic heritage, anchored in the historical landscape of the region.
