Chapelle Notre-Dame de Tronoën

Next to the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Tronoën is the large calvary, one of the landmarks of Brittany.

Erected 1450/1470, this is the oldest of the great calvaries in Brittany. The rectangular base measures 4,5m x 3,5m. Under the crucifiction are two friezes, depicting themes from the New Testament. There are lots of scenes and details.

The Nativity scene in Bethlehem.

From left to right: Joseph (sleeping), Mary (in childbed), Jesus (not as a baby, but already seen "in majestas"), the Magi (adorating).

Lichens find a very agreeable climate so near to the sea.
