Église Saint-Cornély de Carnac, Catholic church in Carnac, France.

Église Saint-Cornély de Carnac is a Catholic church built in the 17th and 18th centuries on a rectangular plan with three naves. Its 40-metre bell tower, dating from 1639, has a square platform with balustrade and corner pinnacles, topped by a long pyramid-shaped spire. The west facade has a niche holding a statue of Saint Cornély, and the north porch, carved by Kergoustin of Baud in 1792, is Doric with cut-edge columns, crowned by a canopy with a crown and cross.

Construction began in the 17th century, and the building received official protection as a French Historical Monument in 1960 due to its Renaissance character. The church evolved through several centuries, reflecting how such buildings adapted to changing periods and needs.

The Pardon of Saint-Cornély is held on the second Sunday of September and includes the blessing of horses. Zacharie Le Rouzic described it in 1909, and it is still organised today. The church's polychrome nave vaults carry painted scenes of the saint's life, made by Le Corre of Pontivy but signed Dupont.

The Pardon takes place on the second Sunday of September and includes the blessing of horses; it was described in 1909 by Zacharie Le Rouzic and is still held today. The west facade carries a niche with a statue of Saint Cornély, while the choir is closed off by a wrought-iron grille.

The north porch features a striking crown-shaped granite canopy decorated with Doric columns with cut edges, crafted by Kergoustin de Baud in 1792. These refined details are often overlooked by visitors but reveal the skilled stonework that distinguishes this entrance.
