Chapelle et calvaire Notre-Dame de Tronoën, Religious complex with chapel and calvary in Saint-Jean-Trolimon, France.
The stone chapel features a central bell tower with three spires and a rectangular nave overlooking Audierne Bay at 30 meters altitude.
Built in the 15th century, the site includes the oldest large Breton calvary, dating from 1450-1470, and contains archaeological evidence of worship since Neolithic times.
The calvary sculptures present biblical scenes arranged vertically and horizontally, allowing pilgrims to follow the narrative of Christian faith through carved representations.
The religious complex includes a devotional fountain with a stone washhouse, which remains accessible to visitors near the chapel entrance.
The granite altar inside the chapel measures 5.35 meters in length and stands as a single block, accompanied by 17th-century polychrome wooden statues.
