SAINT-MAUDÉ CHAPEL
Gothic chapel Saint-Maudé, used as burial place for the Breton knights killed during the battle and hosting 2 events.
This Gothic chapel dates back to 1431. It is one of the emblematic sites of the famous battle of the Thirty, since it is said to have been used as a burial ground for the Breton knights killed during this epic battle. It is remarkable in several respects: the 4 coats of arms on its façade (Brittany with ermine, France with lily, the Quelen family, which gave for its construction, with holly and macles for Alain IX de Rohan, who had it built), its contemporary stained glass windows (1997) of the painter Olivier Debré, its rosette, its polychrome wooden statues... It is listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments. It hosts two annual events: a pardon on the 3rd Sunday in July, and on the 1st Sunday in October, a great Pardon with a blessing from the horses and a country meal.
