Chapelle Saint-Tugen, Gothic chapel in Primelin, France
The rectangular stone chapel features a 28-meter-high square tower on its western side, inspired by Quimper Cathedral's architectural design.
Built in 1535 by René du Menez and Marie du Faou, the chapel stands on the site of an earlier religious structure mentioned in 1118.
The chapel maintains a traditional religious ceremony called Pardon every third Sunday of June, gathering local pilgrims seeking blessings.
The religious monument opens its doors to visitors during summer months through a local heritage preservation association.
Lead keys were manufactured and blessed at this chapel as protective objects against rabies, following the patronage of Saint Tugen.
