Notre-Dame du Kreisker Chapel

Highlight • Historical Site

The chapel is renowned for its beautiful bell tower** It was modeled on the tower of the Eglise St-Pierre in Caen, the granite version from Brittany even surpassing the model. Even Vauban was delighted with this "marvel of poise and audacity". The upper part with the spire is in Norman style, the lower part with the diamond pattern of the window crosses and the overhanging balcony reflects the influence of the so-called perpendicular style, late English Gothic.
The interior is largely closed off by a wooden barrel vault. The only stone vault connects the four huge piers in the crossing that support the tower.
The tower can be climbed (169 steps). From the platform, a beautiful view of the city, the île de Batz, the coast and the Monts d'Arrée unfolds.

Saint Nicholas Chapel

Highlight • Other

A chapel under the protection of Saint Nicholas, patron saint of sailors, adjoining the hospital building was erected after 1600. In the Gothic style, this small building with its two ogival windows and its west gable adorned with a stone boat was remodeled in the 18th century. In 1661, a priest, Ollivier Henry, was installed there to "instruct and guide the poor, hear their confessions, administer extreme unction, and bury them." Engagements, weddings, and funerals were celebrated there. A few generous donors were allowed to be buried there.
During the American Revolutionary War, to guard against any English incursion, the army installed artillery pieces on the coast. These were stored in the chapel "much to the dismay" of the priest, who, reduced to being able to accommodate only a few worshippers for services, also saw a decrease in income from collections. On March 29, 1789, breaking the contract that bound them to Saint-Paul, the heads of the Roscoff families gathered there to draw up their own "book of grievances."
