Lampaul-Guimiliau Parish close, 16th-century parish close in Lampaul-Guimiliau, France.

The Notre-Dame church features kersanton stone sculptures, colored stained glass windows, and two monumental calvaries within its enclosed grounds.

The bell tower, built in 1573 and formerly among the tallest in Finistère, lost 18 meters of its height after a lightning strike in 1809.

The 16th-century rood beam separates the nave from the choir with detailed carvings depicting the Crucifixion and scenes from the Passion.

Visitors can explore the parish close with its 1667 ossuary, 1533 Gothic porch, and sacristy dating from 1679.

The church banners, some dating back to 1658, display representations of Breton saints and remain rare specimens in the region.
