Church Notre-Dame de Larmor-Plage

Church Notre-Dame de Larmor-Plage, Catholic church and historical monument in Larmor-Plage, France.

Notre-Dame de Larmor-Plage is a church with three naves, a transept, and a flat chevet choir whose timber frame displays carved tie beams and decorative hanging keys. The interior contains historical furnishings and artworks that document the building's age and artistic heritage.

According to tradition, Gildas the Wise founded the first chapel here in the 6th century; it was burned by Vikings and rebuilt in the 10th century under Geoffroi Ier de Bretagne, becoming a pilgrimage site for seafarers. After a fire in 1502 it was partly rebuilt in the 16th century in Breton Gothic style, and the bell tower was completed in 1630 by Louis VIII de Rohan-Guéméné. It became a parish church on 13 January 1912 and was classified as a monument historique on 8 February 1990.

The porch on the north side, away from the sea, shelters twelve stone Apostle statues dated 1518, with a keystone angel holding a banner inscribed 1552. The church keeps a granite plaque inscribed 1506 and a 66 cm model of the frigate Le Saint-Jean, whose orientation was read as a weather sign.

The site is open to visitors during regular hours and remains an active place of worship where services may be in progress. Visitors should be respectful when ceremonies are taking place.

The votive model of the frigate "Le Saint-Jean" (66 cm high, 92 cm long) has a green hull and a black upper works with a white line along the gun deck; its orientation was once read as a sign of coming weather. It was listed as an object of historical monuments on 21 January 1901. Two more recent model ex-votos stand in the nave.
