Statue de Notre-Dame de Kerdro, Granite sculpture in Locmariaquer, France.

The Notre-Dame de Kerdro statue, measuring 2.70 meters in height, depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Child Jesus on her left shoulder.

Created in 1946 by sculptor Jules-Charles Le Bozec, this statue replaced an original plaster version from 1883 that was destroyed during World War II.

The statue represents a maritime legend where the Virgin Mary appeared to guide a fishing boat away from an approaching storm.

Located at Pointe de Kerpenhir, the monument stands on a 3-meter circular cone pedestal at the entrance of the Gulf of Morbihan.

The statue remained in the church of Notre-Dame for sixteen years before its permanent installation at its current location in 1962.

Inception: 1946
