Chapelle de Penvern

About

The chapel of Penvern or chapel of Notre-Dame de Penvern or chapel of Notre-Dame Citeaux-Penvern or chapel of Notre-Dame de Bon-Secours is located in the territory of the commune of Trébeurden, in the department of Côtes-d'Armor, in Brittany. Along the chapel, a long stone seat, oriented from east to west, allows pilgrims to take a little rest. According to the legend its date of construction would date back to 1300, it would be the work of the Cistercian monks of B Regard, and It would have followed the discovery of a statue of the Virgin, centuries old.

The cult of the Virgin appeared late in France and Brittany and the discovery of a statue of the Virgin at such a time seems impossible according to some researchers. Located a little away from the village of Penvern it is close to green shades. Water and noise from all sides.
