Eglise Notre Dame des Neiges

the chapel or church of Notre-Dame des Neiges (1859-1864), which contains the tomb of the Chevalier du Guiny de Bonaban (15th century), a baptismal font (16th century) and a choir balustrade dated 1659. The foundation stone was blessed on 26 May 1859. The nave was built by Alain and Tugdual Lageat. The church was blessed on 15 June 1864. It is in fact the former chapel of Kerbors (consecrated in 1546) which has been rebuilt or extended. The steeple has no spire because the church was built on a former marshland: a spire would have made the church considerably heavier. The origin of the name Notre-Dame des Neiges dates back to a church in Rome dedicated to the Virgin of the Snows and prayed to in the event of a plague (according to a hymn) or to a hailstorm that hit Kerbors in August 1863, destroying the crops. To prevent a recurrence, the church was placed under the protection of the Virgin Mary and given the name of Notre-Dame des Neiges on 25 June 1864 (according to the dictionnaire des communes des Côtes-d'Armor). The baptismal font dates from the 16th century and its basin bears the Quélen coat of arms. The statue of Sainte Anne dates from the 17th century. The altar dates from the 1870s and appears to be the work of the sculptor Le Merer. The stained glass window, by the sculptor Rault, dates from the late 19th century.
Open daily from 9am to 6pm.
