Chapelle Saint-Yves de Rennes, Gothic chapel in central Rennes, France.
The Saint-Yves Chapel features a front bell tower, elongated design with one nave, wooden ceiling, and numerous sculpted figures along its walls.
Built in 1494 for the Saint-Yves hospital, this chapel replaced an earlier 14th-century structure and served as a hardware store during the 19th century.
The chapel now functions as the Center for Interpretation of Architecture and Heritage, offering exhibitions and educational programs about regional architecture.
Visitors can access the chapel via Metro line A at République station or line B at Saint-Germain station, with several bus lines stopping nearby.
The chapel walls display carved figures including animals with protruding tongues, a sleeping rabbit, and various faces observing visitors throughout the space.
