Origin and history

The church, cemetery and presbytery of Saint-Quay-Perros form a religious complex built in the seventeenth century, located in the municipality of the same name, in Brittany. The building adopts a Latin cross plan, characteristic of the churches of this period, with a wall bell tower erected on the western facade. A chapel of the baptismal fonts is joined to the southern crusillon of the transept, adding an architectural singularity to the ensemble.

The bell tower, designed according to the plans of architect Jean Lageat, bears the date of 1732, marking an important milestone in the history of the monument. The campanile, originally destroyed by lightning in 1880, was rebuilt two years later, in 1882. This set, including the church, cemetery and presbytery, was included in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 18 June 1946, highlighting its heritage value.

The location of the building, although documented (approximate address: 4 Impasse Fontaine Sainte-Marguerite), is considered to be of poor accuracy (level 5 of 10). Property of the commune of Saint-Quay-Perros, in the Côtes-d-Armor, this monument illustrates the Breton religious architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries, while at the same time testifying to the climatic hazards and restorations that marked its history.
