Origin and history
The Saint Lubin Chapel, located in Kergrist-Moëlou in the Côtes-d'Armor, is a religious building built in the middle of the 16th century. Only its west façade, erected in 1767, bears witness to a later intervention. Known under the full name of "Saint Lubin de Coz Illis" ("old church" in Breton), it was originally the parish church of the village, placed under the double patronage of St Peter and St Lubin. The latter, invoked to treat rheumatism, attracted pilgrims who used water from his fountain for therapeutic purposes. A 16th century ossuary, still present nearby, completes this historical ensemble.
The chapel and its cemetery surrounded by a fence were inscribed as historical monuments by order of 7 December 1925. This classification recognizes the heritage value of the building, marked by its Breton architecture and its role in local traditions. The chapel today belongs to the commune of Kergrist-Moëlou, although its state of conservation and accessibility are not specified in the available sources. His name also evokes Lubin de Chartres, saint linked to the region, although the text does not detail this historical link.
