Origin and history

The chapel of the castle of Keralio is a religious building located in the commune of Plougrescant, in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany. Built between the second half of the 15th century and the first half of the 16th century, it is distinguished by its rectangular shape and an ogival door decorated with pinacles and florets. Three Breton saints, Yves, Gonnery and Tugdual, are represented in relief, highlighting his local anchor and spiritual role.

The chapel was originally erected as a tomb chapel for the Chatelans of Keralio, the noble family owner of the estate. This type of monument, typical of late medieval times, reflects both the power of local lords and their piety. The chapel illustrates the Breton religious architecture of the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, with Gothic elements still marked.

The chapel is now closed to the public. Its inscription bears witness to its heritage value, both for its history linked to the Breton nobility and for its architectural characteristics. Available sources, such as the Merimée base or Wikipedia, confirm its importance in the historical landscape of the Côtes-d'Armor.
