Chapelle Saint-Christophe, Gothic chapel in Kerentrech district, Lorient, France

The Saint-Christophe Chapel features a rectangular sanctuary with a three-sided chevet adorned with stained glass windows installed in 1954.

Built in the 15th century by the princes of Guéméné, the chapel served as a parish church from 1791 to 1854 during the French Revolution.

Every first Sunday of May, the chapel hosts a traditional pardon ceremony dedicated to children, maintaining local Breton religious customs.

The chapel contains a slate baptistery from the East India Company chapel and provides access to the bell tower through a wooden gallery.

The current bell tower rests on nine Tuscan-style columns, housing the Marie-Perrine bell cast by Evrard and Victor Trouvé in 1862.
