Chapelle Sainte-Marie-du-Menez-Hom, Religious monument in Plomodiern, France.

Chapelle Sainte-Marie-du-Menez-Hom is a chapel in an enclosed churchyard at the foot of the two Menez Hom peaks in Plomodiern, Brittany, at an altitude of 193 metres. Its bell tower has three tiers of balustraded galleries built between 1668 and 1773, topped by a lantern dome. The yard also holds a three-shaft calvary dated 1544 and a triumphal arch from 1739.

The chapel was built between 1570 and 1773, replacing an earlier Romanesque structure that had stood on the same hilltop. Regional fairs raised donations over those two centuries to fund the construction work.

The chapel holds three Baroque altarpieces from the early 1700s, decorated with carved reliefs, columns, and figures of saints. Pilgrims have visited this hilltop for centuries, and it remains a place of active devotion today.

The chapel stands at the foot of the two Menez Hom summits, at 193 metres, beside the D 887, the old main road to the Crozon peninsula. The enclosure is entered through a triumphal arch of 1739 bearing a statue of Saint Hervé with his guide Guic'haran. Look for the slate slabs hollowed with cupules at another entrance.

The chapel was an old Templar chapel, and its sacristy is called the "Chambre des moines rouges" after the red cross of the Templars. A cross a few hundred metres away on the Plomodiern road, the croix de Park ar Groaz Ru ("field of the red cross"), also recalls these monk-soldiers.
