Argol Parish close, Parish close in Argol, France

The Argol Parish close contains a church, an ossuary from 1665, and a monumental entrance with semicircular arches and decorative turrets.

The Saint Peter and Saint Paul Church, built in 1575, underwent several modifications including wall reconstruction in 1784 and porch restoration in 1839.

The calvary, standing 4.5 meters tall and carved from kersanton stone, displays religious figures and coats of arms from past church leaders.

Both the church and the monumental entrance received designation as historical monuments in 1914, making them protected architectural structures.

The entrance features an equestrian statue of King Gradlon and connects to local folklore about the sunken city of Ys and his daughter Dahut.
