Chapelle de Coat Quéau, Neo-Breton chapel in Scrignac, Finistère.
This concrete chapel features neo-Breton architecture with a monumental porch, colorful stained glass windows created by Job Gevel and interior sculptures crafted by Jules-Charles Le Bozec.
Built in 1937 by architect James Bouillé at the initiative of Abbé Perrot, it replaced an ancient 14th-century chapel whose ruins were sold in 1925.
The chapel represents the 20th-century Breton cultural renaissance movement, incorporating modern Breton artistic elements within a traditional religious framework.
Located in the commune of Scrignac in Finistère, this chapel classified as a historic monument since 1997 welcomes visitors to explore its architecture and artwork.
The south transept lintel carries a Breton inscription: "937 - 1937, gant milvet bloaz adsavidigez Breiz eo bet adsavet ar chapel-man", meaning the chapel was rebuilt for the millennium of the restoration of Brittany. The old calvary south of the esplanade is the only surviving element of the pre-1937 chapel.
