Origin and history
The chapel Saint-Jacques de Tréméven, located in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany, dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. This historic monument is distinguished by its architecture and its role in local religious life. The chapel has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1909, and its fountain, located at the bedside, has also been since 1912. This granite fountain houses a statue of St James above a basin receiving water, illustrating the importance of sacred sources in Breton tradition.
The chapel and its fountain are emblematic elements of Breton religious heritage. The fountain, in particular, reflects popular devotional practices related to the sources and patron saints, common in Brittany at that time. The chapel, owned by the commune, is a testimony of art and spirituality of the 15th and 16th centuries, although its present state and accessibility are not specified in the available sources.
The classification of the chapel and its fountain as Historic Monuments underscores their heritage value.
