Chapelle Saint-Yves de Vannes, Baroque chapel in Vannes, France
The Saint-Yves Chapel features a white stone structure built on a granite foundation, with a high pediment displaying the IHS monogram.
The chapel, constructed between 1661 and 1685 following plans by Brother Charles Turmel, served as the church for the adjacent Jesuit college.
The restored altarpiece, created by Jean Boffrand in 1684, includes black marble columns and depicts the triumph of Saint Ignatius of Loyola.
Following extensive renovations completed in 2022, the chapel now hosts musical classes for 15 hours weekly and religious services on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The structure contains a crypt beneath the choir area that previously stored coffins before their removal during the French Revolution period.
