Kilinenn Chapel (Quilinen)
- This mid-15th century chapel has a three-bay north aisle and a flat bedside with a north chapel. Its porch is polychrome, and its vaults are ribbed. The bell tower is 19th century.
- This chapel has benefited from a complete restoration (2013-2017) which allowed the restoration of wall frescoes of 17°. The bays were decorated with magnificent stained glass windows, partly inspired by a 1648 description of the original stained glass windows. The many listed statues (mostly of the XVI° have been renovated. Vault, frescoes, statues, stained glass windows... but also a tricephalous sculpture, a drawing of a wheel of fortunes, a whale’s rib, beautiful sand pits and, since 2022, an 18th century clock... interesting details are not lacking in this wonderful chapel.
- The Calvary rises on a double triangular base. At the foot of the cross is a Pietà. On the base glazes and the lamp butts are represented among others the holy women, Saint John, a Virgin with the Child. The statues, 48 in number, show the sculptor’s excellence in the realism of his representations.
- This calvary was also fully restored in 2019. The fountain, restored in 2021, is partially sheltered under a niche covered with a built-up roof and opened by a moulded third-point arcade. A shield adorns the key of the arcade. A cross cushions the pinion. Beyond the drainage channel lies a square basin, bordered by granite slabs and enclosed by a wall.
