Oratoire de Saint-Guirec, Gothic oratory at Ploumanach beach, Perros-Guirec, France.
The granite oratory stands on a rocky outcrop at Ploumanach beach, featuring an arch supported by pink sandstone columns and a statue of Saint Guirec.
Built between the late 11th and early 12th centuries, this religious monument received official classification as a historical monument on February 10, 1903.
The original 14th-century wooden statue was moved to the nearby Saint-Guirec Chapel in 1904, replaced by a granite sculpture created by Lannion artist Hernot.
During low tide, visitors can walk directly to the oratory, while high tide surrounds the structure with water from the Saint-Guirec cove.
The base of the oratory contains stones from an Iron Age Gallic stele, and features ram horn carvings inside the niche.
