Origin and history
The parish church of Saint-Blaise du Cloître-Pleyben is an emblematic rural building of the Breton Renaissance. It is characterized by a four-span nave and a baluster bell tower, dated 1538, accompanied by a turret with a remarkable invoice. Its interior heritage includes a high altar and retables dating back to about 1670, as well as a bronze bentier of 1677.
The church's furniture includes a 1770 confessional, retables dedicated to Notre-Dame de Lorette and Notre-Dame de Pitié, as well as a rich ancient statuary. Among the notable works are a group representing Saint Yves, Saint Michel terrorizing the dragon, Saint Catherine, Saint Paul, Saint John the Baptist, Saint Blaise (patron of the parish) and the Virgin Mary. A 16th century calvary, also present, adds to the historical and artistic value of the building.
According to Couffon's research, the construction of the church could go back to 1538, although this date mainly concerns the bell tower. The building thus illustrates the Breton religious architecture of the Renaissance, combining structural elegance and preserved furniture heritage.
