Chapel of Kermaria an Iskuit, Medieval chapel in Plouha, France

The Chapel of Kermaria an Iskuit features a central nave with seven bays, flanked by side aisles and a three-sided choir built in stone.

Henry II of Avaugour initiated the construction of the chapel upon returning from the Sixth Crusade in 1420, creating a religious sanctuary in Brittany.

The chapel contains a late 15th-century Dance Macabre fresco depicting 47 life-sized figures, each measuring 1.30 meters in height, facing death represented by skeletons.

The religious monument stands in the Kermaria hamlet, accessible via the D21 road from Plouha toward Pléhédel in the Côtes-d'Armor department.

The south porch displays wooden sculptures from the 15th century and houses a Renaissance gallery with a chamber on the upper floor.
