Origin and history

The chapel Notre-Dame de Locmaria is a religious building located at Locmaria, in the commune of Seglien, in the department of Morbihan (British). Dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, it illustrates the Breton religious architecture of this period, marked by a structure in the shape of a Latin cross. This type of construction reflects the importance of places of worship in the social and spiritual organization of the Breton countryside in the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

The chapel was inscribed under the title of Historic Monuments by order of 3 November 1927, thus recognizing its heritage value. This official protection underlines its role in the local architectural and cultural heritage. Owned by the municipality of Seglien, it remains a testimony of the religious practices and artisanal know-how of the time, although the available sources do not specify its current use (visits, cults, etc.).

The geographical and administrative data confirm its territorial anchor: located at approximate address 5137 Locmaria, 56160 Séglien, it is referenced in the Merimée database under the code INSEE 56242. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (level 5/10), indicating a moderate knowledge of its exact location.
