Chapelle Saint-Gildas de Bieuzy, 15th century Catholic chapel in Pluméliau-Bieuzy, France

The semi-troglodytic chapel sits beneath a granite rock formation along the Blavet river, featuring two aligned sections built from granite and quartz materials.

Welsh missionary Saint Gildas and his disciple Saint Bieuzy established a retreat in a cave by the Blavet River in 538, leading to the chapel's construction.

The chapel maintains two stone altars dedicated to Saints Gildas and Bieuzy, complemented by 19th-century polychrome plaster statues of both religious figures.

A hiking trail connects Saint-Nicolas-des-Eaux to the chapel, with vehicle parking available 200 meters from the religious structure.

The chapel contains a sonorous stone mounted on a granite pedestal that produces metallic sounds when struck, declared a historic monument in 1981.
