Pleyben Parish close, Parish close in Pleyben, France

The parish close contains Saint Germain Church with two bell towers, a Renaissance lanterned dome tower and a Gothic spire reaching 47.50 meters.

The construction of Saint Germain Church began in 1530 and continued through the 17th century, interrupted by the League Wars in France.

The calvary features 30 detailed stone scenes from Jesus's life, serving as visual biblical narratives for the local population in the 16th century.

The site provides a large parking area next to the complex, and guided tours operate during summer months to explore the church interior.

The ossuary, built in 1560, displays a rediscovered statue of the Virgin nursing her child, later serving as a school and post office.
