Chapelle Saint-Brieuc de Plonivel, Medieval chapel in Plobannalec-Lesconil, France

Chapelle Saint-Brieuc de Plonivel is a chapel located in Plobannalec-Lesconil in Brittany, displaying Gothic features in its structure. The building features a polygonal choir, cylindrical pillars without capitals, and nave sections that reflect this architectural period.

St-Brieuc de Plonivel served as the parish church of Plonivel until the French Revolution. Its three-bay nave dates from a Romanesque phase, and the church was renewed in Flamboyant Gothic style in the 15th and 16th centuries. In 1774 a major rebuilding moved the bell tower to the west gable, raised the apse, and added the sacristy and baptismal fonts; the south porch is dated 1758.

The pardon is held here on the first Sunday of May. The walled churchyard, the placître, held the old cemetery; in its west wall stands a medieval cross pattée, and in the south-east corner a monolithic cross of octagonal section. The former presbytery stands behind the west wall, now privately owned.

The chapel is accessible from outside, and the surrounding churchyard with its medieval crosses can be explored. Visitors should note that access may vary depending on opening times and events.

The west gable carries a barely legible inscription naming the year 1774, rector Henri Coquil and parishwarden Ives Ballacon, who kept the parish accounts. The churchyard wall holds a medieval cross pattée on its west side and an octagonal-section monolith cross in the south-east corner.
