Chapelle Sainte-Anne-la-Palud, Religious chapel in Plonévez-Porzay, France.

Chapelle Sainte-Anne-la-Palud is a chapel in Plonévez-Porzay situated in a dune landscape near the Atlantic Ocean, featuring granite walls and traditional Breton architectural details. The building occupies a sandy setting that has helped preserve this religious structure over time.

The chapel was built between 1863 and 1864 and represents the fourth religious structure at this location. Its predecessor buildings date to medieval times, showing the site's long spiritual importance.

The chapel serves as the center for two annual pilgrimages, with the main celebration held in August. These religious gatherings bring visitors together to pray and participate in traditional ceremonies.

Visitors can reach the chapel via marked pathways from Plonévez-Porzay, with parking available near the building. The sandy terrain is most easily walked during warmer months when the ground is firm and accessible.

Inside the chapel stands a granite statue of Saint Anne from 1548 that was officially crowned during a ceremony in 1913. This ancient figure represents one of the oldest elements at the location and shows the enduring veneration of this saint.
