The western facade (Box E 148): inscription by decree of 14 May 1925

Origin and history

The chapel of Mille Secours de Brouël is a religious building located in the town of Brouël, in the department of Morbihan. Built in the 16th century, it is distinguished by its western facade in granite apparatus, reinforced by two massive foothills. This facade houses two doors paired in basket coves, characteristic of Breton religious architecture of this time.

The chapel has been protected by heritage: its western facade has been classified as historic monuments since 14 May 1925. This classification reflects the architectural and historical importance of this monument, although the available sources do not specify the exact reasons for this protection. Today the chapel belongs to the municipality of Ambon.

From an architectural point of view, the chapel presents itself as a sober rectangular building, whose western gable is the most remarkable element. Sources also mention an association dedicated to its preservation, stressing the local commitment to its preservation. No information is available about its current use (cult, visits, events) or possible historical characters related to its construction or history.
