Origin and history

The church Saint-Pierre de Kerpert is a religious building built in the 16th century, located in the commune of Kerpert, Brittany. Classified as a Historic Monument by order of February 16, 1921, it also includes an adjacent ossuary, both protected for their heritage value. The precise location of the monument, noted as "passable" (level 5/10), corresponds to address 40 Le Bourg, in the department of Côtes-d-Armor (code Insee 22092).

The church property belongs to the commune of Kerpert. Although the available sources (Monumentum, Mérimée base) do not specify its current state of openness to the public, its ranking reflects its architectural and historical importance. GPS coordinates and approximate address confirm its anchoring in the centre-bourg, typical of the Breton parish churches of this period.

The 16th century in Brittany was marked by a transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, where parish churches played a central role in community life. These buildings serve not only as places of worship, but also as social landmarks and conservatories for funeral practices, as evidenced by the presence of a dedicated lossuary. The region, then under ducal influence before its definitive attachment to France in 1532, saw the development of a rich religious heritage, often linked to the local lords or the brotherhoods.
