Origin and history

Stella-Maris Church, located in the municipality of Bono in Brittany, is a religious monument whose precise origins are not documented in the available sources. Her name, evoking the Virgin Mary ('Etoile de la Mer'), suggests a maritime devotion, frequent in coastal regions like this part of Brittany. Local churches, like Stella-Maris, traditionally played a central role in the lives of Breton communities.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for social events and local celebrations. In an area with a strong cultural identity and sea-related history, these buildings often reflected the beliefs and lifestyles of the inhabitants, between land and ocean.
