À propos du lieu

Chapelle Sainte-Edwett

Sainte Evette 29770 Audierne

Finistère

Bretagne

The chapel is built at a place called Porz-Landrévet.
In 1743, it had to be rebuilt almost entirely. The bell tower, as well as the west gable, were restored in 1770\. The altar of 1775 has disappeared. In the altarpiece, there is a beautiful painting on canvas of the Coronation of Saint Edwett wearing a crown on her head and two in her hands, hence the name of the 'saint with three crowns'. A Gallic stele engraved with Christian crosses adjoins the chapel and testifies to the ancient sacredness of this sheltered cove constituting a beaching port. At a hundred meters, a miraculous fountain, also Christianized, includes a statuette of the "saint with three crowns". Legend has it that Sainte-Edwett arrived at Penhors in a boat with his brother Saint Demet, in the 4th century. She would then have come to live alone in this sandy cove and would have died there in 383\. She is considered the patron saint of fishermen in the bay of Audierne.
