Chapelle Saint-Ivy de la Congrégation
Chapelle Saint-Ivy de la Congrégation, 18th-century Catholic chapel in Pontivy, France.
Description
Chapelle Saint-Ivy is an 18th-century chapel featuring a single nave built from granite and schist walls topped by a masonry spire. The structure is covered with slate roofing that protects the interior from weathering.
History
The chapel was built in 1770 to replace Pontivy's original parish church that had stood since the 7th century. This construction marked a shift in the town's religious life to a new building on the same sacred site.
Culture
The chapel served as a gathering place for a community of craftsmen devoted to Mary. You can sense the connection this group had with the space when you visit today.
Practical
The chapel sits on rue Saint-Ivy about one kilometer from Pontivy's town center. It remains an active place of worship, so visitors should be respectful of those praying or attending services.
Did you know?
A small tower on the left side of the chapel houses an internal staircase leading to the upper floors. This feature sets it apart from typical simple worship buildings.
