Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Grâces de Plougonvelin, Chapel in Plougonvelin, France

Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Grâce in Plougonvelin is a rectangular chapel rebuilt in 1861, with irregular grey stone walls and a steep dark grey roof. Its gabled front has a round-arched wooden door, a small arched window above, and an open bell tower holding a bell at the top. A low stone wall encloses a small paved and grassy court with stone steps.

The chapel occupies the site of the medieval village church Notre-Dame du Bout du Monde, which was larger than the present building. The nave was rebuilt in 1861 in a Neoclassical style, and the entrance was rearranged so that the 14th-century portal now stands isolated north of the chapel. A 14th-century door was reused on the north side, and a restoration followed in 1969.

Inside, a painted group of the Assumption of the Virgin from 1864 is carried by two angels within a Gothic arch reused from the earlier church. Beside Mary stand Saint Tanguy, shown as a monk with a sword, and his sister Saint Haude, wearing a servant's apron and bearing the marks of her beheading. A model of a fishing boat hangs on one wall, a regional custom.

The chapel stands in the hamlet of Saint-Mathieu, in the commune of Plougonvelin, a short distance from the Pointe Saint-Mathieu. The ruined abbey of Saint-Mathieu de Fine-Terre and the Phare de Saint-Mathieu lie immediately to the west. The 14th-century entrance portal stands isolated just north of the chapel, so the two are seen separately.

Behind the altar stands a carved wooden bench from the 17th century with three seats of unequal width. Each backrest carries a medallion of one theological virtue: Faith, Hope and Charity. The bench, probably from the neighbouring abbey, was used by those keeping watch in the church.
