Église Saint-Pierre, Gothic Revival church in Crozon, France
Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
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.
