Statue de Notre-Dame des Naufragés
Statue de Notre-Dame des Naufragés, Marble statue at Pointe du Raz, France
The Notre-Dame des Naufragés statue stands 6 meters tall on a 4.5-meter granite pedestal, depicting the Virgin Mary helping a shipwrecked sailor.
Created by sculptor Cyprian Godebski and inaugurated on July 3rd, 1904, the statue was initially intended for the municipality of Plounéour-Trez.
The monument connects to local maritime traditions through an annual blessing ceremony held on the last Sunday of July or first Sunday of August.
The statue underwent restoration work in 2005 to address environmental damage and repair cracks that had formed in the sailor's arm section.
The sculptor offered this monumental piece to Brittany at the cost of transportation only, inspired by the death of his son in Tonkin.
