St-Herbot, Gothic parish church in Plonévez-du-Faou, France.
The Saint-Herbot Chapel features a 31-meter tower, three naves separated by large arcades, and a rectangular porch decorated with quadripartite rib vaults.
Construction of the chapel began in 1389 following its destruction during the War of Breton Succession, with subsequent modifications made during the 15th and 16th centuries.
The chapel maintains a traditional butter festival on the last Sunday of September, connecting with its role as a sanctuary for Saint Herbot, protector of horned animals.
The chapel serves as a starting point for hiking trails between the Monts d'Arrée and Black Mountains, offering visitors both religious and natural experiences.
Three 16th-century stained glass windows created by Thomas Quéméner decorate the eastern bays, representing a significant part of the chapel's artistic heritage.
