Chapelle Notre-Dame de Port-Blanc, Medieval chapel in Port-Blanc, Penvénan, France.
The chapel stands half-buried into the ground with stone walls and features a prominent bell tower overlooking the sea at Port-Blanc.
Built upon a 13th-century watchtower foundation, the chapel underwent reconstruction in 1837 following severe hurricane damage that destroyed its tower in 1836.
Three ship models hang inside the chapel, including a late 19th-century three-masted vessel named Notre-Dame de Port-Blanc with detailed figurehead carvings.
The chapel opens daily from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM during July and August, with reduced hours in other months.
Local sailors crafted intricate wooden ship models during their fishing seasons, which now serve as votive offerings within the chapel walls.
