Kermouster, 22740 Lézardrieux
‘Kermouster, a flower-filled hamlet with an exceptional view over the mouth of the Trieux and the Bréhat archipelago, was built around a chapel originally dedicated to Saint Maudez, the saint who evangelised the Lézardrieux peninsula.
It was rebuilt in 1740 on the site of a former 12th-century oratory, as evidenced by the 2 Romanesque arches. The bell tower received its first bell in 1743, named after the godfather and godmother, Etienne de La Villeneuve and Anne Belingan, Baroness of Penmarc'h. It houses a 15th-century wooden Christ, nine polychrome wooden statues from the 17th and 18th centuries, a painting of Mary Magdalene and several votive offerings.
In the chapel enclosure, the so-called Maudez stone, a small hollowed-out block of granite, is said to have the power to cure children with locomotion problems by serving as a seat.
Guided tours in July and August from 2pm to 6pm every afternoon except Monday.
