Chapelle de Ti Mamm Doué, Gothic chapel in Quimper, France.
Chapelle de Ti Mamm Doué is a Gothic chapel in Quimper featuring twisted columns and honeycomb-patterned decorations at its base. The building combines architectural elements from different periods, reflecting the changes it underwent over centuries.
Construction of the chapel began around 1541, evident from the Gothic doorway still visible on its façade. A classical entrance added in 1605 shows how the building was adapted as architectural tastes changed.
The stained glass windows from 1995 by François Dilasser and Jean Pierre Le Bihan bring contemporary art into this small Breton place of worship. These modern pieces create a striking contrast with the ancient stone walls surrounding them.
The chapel is located in the Finistère area and can be reached easily from central Quimper. The surrounding neighborhood offers several accommodation and dining choices for visitors exploring the area.
Local tradition holds that Father Julien Maunoir received a spiritual gift during a Pentecost service on June 8, 1631, within these walls. This event is remembered by the community as a turning point in how faith was shared across the Breton region.
