Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Quelven, Gothic basilica in Guern, France
The Notre-Dame-de-Quelven chapel displays intricate Gothic architecture with a Latin cross layout and three-bay nave near Pontivy region.
The chapel received indulgences from Pope Nicholas V in 1401 to attract pilgrims, becoming the third most visited pilgrimage site in Morbihan.
During the annual Assumption Day pilgrimage on August 15, masses are conducted in French and Breton languages with traditional fire-bearing angel processions.
The chapel contains both modern and 16th-century stained glass windows, along with an 18th-century baroque organ used for regular concerts.
A mechanical polychrome angel descends from the bell tower to light a bonfire in a nearby field during specific religious ceremonies.
