Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Kérinec, Medieval chapel in Poullan-sur-Mer, France.

Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Kérinec is a Latin-cross chapel built around 1280 in Poullan-sur-Mer, Finistère, measuring 28.10 m long and 11.60 m wide outside. Its interior follows the Pont-Croix School: round-arched arcades in the three-bay choir, pointed arches in the nave. The west wall, 2.25 m thick, carries a bell-gable with an octagonal spire and a round stair turret with a conical stone roof.

Built around 1280 on a spring that had earlier served as a pagan cult site, the chapel is dated by René Couffon between the first campaign at Pont-Croix (1260) and the enlargement of its choir (about 1290). The whole outer shell was rebuilt at the very end of the 14th or in the 15th century, when the chevet and transept arms received large windows; the bell-gable wall dates from the 15th century. The bell frame and spire were rebuilt in the 17th century, probably after lightning caused a collapse, and the sacristy was added in the 19th century.

The chapel stands on a spring that became a sacred fountain, apparently a pagan cult site before the church was built. The 16th-century fountain was restored in the 17th century, and a menhir and a dolmen lie about 500 metres to the east. The calvary-chaire, a combined cross and outdoor pulpit, also dates from the 16th century.

The chapel stands in the countryside of Poullan-sur-Mer, in Finistère, Brittany. The west wall is 2.25 m thick and framed by two massive buttresses, with a stair turret attached to the south side of the bell tower. A menhir and a dolmen lie about 500 m to the east.
