Quilinen, Religious settlement in Landrévarzec, France

The chapel of Quilinen stands within the Breton landscape, featuring granite stonework and architectural elements from the 15th and 16th centuries.

Originally established as a subsidiary parish of Briec, Quilinen maintained religious services until the French Revolution when its church closed and parishioners transferred to Briec.

The site bears the name Kilinenn in Breton language, connecting to Saint Celynin from Wales and reflecting the Celtic religious influences in the region.

The chapel opens to visitors on specific dates throughout the year, with guided tours explaining the historical and architectural features of the building.

The chapel contains heraldic sculptures integrated into its stone walls, demonstrating connections to regional noble families of medieval Brittany.
