Sainte-Marine - Chapelle Sign
CHAPELLE
The Sainte-Marine chapel was built in the 16th century, it is the first construction of the port with that of the boat master's house which dates from the same period. In the 1960s, having become too small for religious services, it was enlarged using stones from a church in Trégunc. The “Pardon” is celebrated every 2nd Sunday in July: the faithful then go in procession to the slipway in order to bless the sea. A wreath of flowers is thrown onto the waves in memory of the sailors perished at sea.
In the oldest part
Several decorative elements such as the sailors votive offerings, the sandstone sculptures of boats or the south door framed with fish testify to its familiar link with the world of the sea. Its wooden statuary is also remarkable, we can discover a breastfeeding Virgin, multi-coloured statues from the 16th century of Saint Barbara and Saint Peter, that of Saint Marine from the 18th century as well as three other statues in raw wood dating from the 20th century.
Contemporary stained glass windows
The contemporary stained glass windows installed in the 1960s helped create unity between the two parts, old and new. They are designed by André Bouler, a Jesuit, trained in the workshop of Fernand Léger where he met the artists Manessier and Bazaine, also makers of stained glass windows in the chapels of Brittany.
