About the location

Chapelle Saint-Roch

Chapelle Saint-Roch, 22110, Plounévez-Quintin

Côtes-d'Armor
Bretagne

The site of Saint-Roch, benefiting from the proximity of the Blavet and an important wooded area, consists of the eponymous chapel, its fountain and a bridge in granite orthostates. The chapel St Roch dates from the second half of the 17th century, dedicated to St Roch de Montpellier, famous for curing plague and skin diseases. He is depicted as a pilgrim wearing scallops. At his feet, a dog holds a ball of bread in his mouth. An architectural site, isolated in the countryside of the town, the chapel of St Roch, originally owned by the spouses of Perrien and Cosnoal, depended on the manor of Kergontraly, a few hundred metres away. The chapel and fountain have been part of the communal area since 2001\. The surrounding forest allows the discovery of the local flora and indulge in hiking, while admiring a remarkable granitic chaos.
