Église Saint-Pierre, Gothic Revival church in Crozon, France
Église Saint-Pierre is a Gothic Revival church in Crozon with a tall stone tower built from Kersanton stone and a 16th-century entrance porch. This porch is adorned with religious sculptures and shapes the exterior appearance alongside the sturdy tower.
The building was constructed in 1866 by architect Armand Gassis and reflects the Gothic Revival style of that period. During the liberation of Crozon in 1944, the church sustained damage but was later restored and has been classified as a historical monument since 1906.
The church houses a notable polychrome altarpiece depicting ten thousand martyrs, which shapes the interior with religious artistry. This work has long been a focal point for visitors interested in the artistic furnishings of the place.
The church opens for regular Catholic masses and hosts free concerts every Friday morning during the summer months. Visitors should note that opening hours can vary depending on services and events.
The church tower on the Crozon plateau serves as a navigation reference point for sailors approaching the coast. Its distinctive position makes it an important landmark for shipping in this region.
