Chapelle de Languidou, Medieval chapel ruins in Plovan, France.
Chapelle de Languidou is a medieval ruin located in Brittany's Finistère department with a rectangular floor plan and a flat east wall. The remains show portions of the original stonework and structural elements that define its form.
The chapel was built during the 13th century and underwent changes in the 14th and 15th centuries. Revolutionary forces later dismantled portions of it to supply building materials for local construction projects.
The chapel displays features of Breton religious architecture with its open nave and decorative window typical of the Pont-Croix school. Visitors can observe these regional building traditions that appear throughout other historic chapels in the area.
The ruins are situated in the Bigouden region and remain accessible throughout the year. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the site has uneven ground and sparse vegetation.
The chapel is named after Saint Guidou, whose statue is now housed in the Saint-Gorgon parish church of Plovan. This connection shows how elements from the original site found refuge in other locations within the town.
