Origin and history

The chapel Saint-Guénolé de Plourac'h is a religious building located in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany. Built in the 16th century, it is representative of local heritage and bears witness to the importance of places of worship in the Breton countryside of that time. The chapel was built by the Gourvinec family, lords of Klempétu, on the site of the Run of Rudinos, a place probably loaded with symbols for the local community.

Over the centuries, the chapel has undergone several restorations, as can be seen from records of preserved factories. The purpose of this work was to preserve the building, which was partially rebuilt in 1828, as indicated by an engraved date. Its designation as historic monuments by order of 24 March 1926 emphasizes its heritage and architectural value.

Today, the chapel of Saint-Guénolé remains a central element of the cultural landscape of Plourac'h. Owned by the commune, it embodies both the religious heritage and the seigneurial history of the region. Its location, near the place called Rest An Horniou, and its typical 16th century architecture make it a remarkable site for lovers of Breton history.
