Chapelle Saint-Jean de Campénéac, Historical chapel in Campénéac, France
The Saint-Jean chapel displays a rectangular layout with a semi-circular apse and thick walls built from local schist stone in Morbihan department.
The chapel, dating from the 13th century, transferred to the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem in 1312 after the dissolution of Knights Templar.
The building retains elements from medieval to modern times, with modifications made during the 17th century reflecting architectural evolution through periods.
The chapel stands 5 kilometers northeast of Campénéac town center, near the border of Paimpont commune within the former Paimpont forest area.
General paymaster Nicolas Bourelle de Sivry rests in a mausoleum inside the chapel, which his wife commissioned after his death in 1793.
