Origin and history

Saint-Roch Chapel is a religious building located in Lannion, in the Côtes-d'Armor department, Brittany. It is precisely on the road to Trébeurden, in the district of Brélévenez. Classified as historical monuments by decree of 3 November 1930, it is an example of the Christian architectural heritage of the region.

The chapel belongs to the municipality of Lannion and is open to the public at specific events, such as Heritage Days. Its location, reported in the Merimée base, is also referenced by approximate GPS coordinates, indicating a satisfactory location. It embodies the role of chapels in Breton religious and community life, often linked to local processes and cults.

The chapels of this type, in Brittany, were traditionally places of devotion and gathering for the inhabitants of villages and neighborhoods. They also served as landmarks in the landscape, often associated with legends or protector saints, such as Saint Roch, invoked against epidemics. Their architecture generally reflects local styles and available materials, such as granite, very present in the Côtes-d'Armor.
