Origin and history

The church of Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs de Coat-Méal, located in the Finistère in Brittany, dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. This historic monument is distinguished by its large porch, inscribed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1937. The porch houses statues of apostles placed under the side niches and on the tympanum, where a Christ holding the ball of the world occupies a central place. These sculptural elements bear witness to Breton medieval religious art.

The porch, owned by the municipality, is the protected element of the building. The church is located in Rohan Square in Coat-Méal, in a department marked by a rich architectural heritage. Although details of its construction or sponsors are not specified, its inscription in 1937 underscores its historical and artistic importance. The statues and their layout reflect the religious and artistic practices of the time.

The location of the church, noted with an accuracy deemed satisfactory a priori, allows to situate it in the urban context of Coat-Méal. The exact address, Rohan Square, is confirmed by Merimée bases and GPS coordinates. The absence of references to its accessibility or contemporary uses (visits, events) limits information to its heritage status and its major architectural features.
