A flamboyant Gothic chapel in the middle of the countryside in Le Faouët.

Nestled in the middle of the countryside, the flamboyant Gothic-style Chapelle Sainte-Barbe is a sight to behold. Its construction, begun in 1489 and completed in 1512, was the result of a vow by Jean de Toulbodou, who is said to have escaped a lightning strike on this very spot and promised to build a place of worship for Sainte-Barbe. He bought the land from Jehan de Bouteville, baron of Faouët, and kept his promise. Sainte-Barbe was invoked to protect against thunder and lightning.

Nature et architecture mystique
Une superbe balade vous attend à la Chappelle Sainte Barbe du Faouet.
Ses petits chemins descendent jusqu'à une merveilleuse rivière dans les bois.
Il faut pouvoir remonter ensuite mais cela en vaut la chandelle !

Magnifique édifice religieux, tant par son aspect architectural que par son emplacement au pied d'une falaise et dans la forêt. En contrebas une rivière rajoute au charme de ce lieu envoûtant...

Cela fait plusieurs fois que nous visitons cette chapelle du XV ème toujours avec autant de plaisir car c'est un site historique grandiose avec ses escaliers de Pierre en balustrade et qui domine le profond ravin de l'Elle.
