Guimiliau Parish close

The religious complex contains a church with a Gothic bell tower, two ossuaries, a sacristy from 1683, and a large calvary with 200 stone figures.

Built between 1581 and 1588, the calvary represents biblical scenes from the Annunciation to the Resurrection, with characters wearing 16th-century regional costumes.

The architectural elements combine Gothic and Renaissance styles, featuring columns, pediments, and stone lanterns constructed primarily from local kersanton stone.

The parish close opens daily from 9:00 to 19:00, offering free entry, parking facilities, disabled access, and restrooms at 1 rue de l'Eglise.

The grand porch, constructed from 1606 to 1617, reaches the height of the church itself and displays comic scenes with double rows of apostles.
