Tips from the Community
This chapel is actually called "Notre Dame de la Garde", which in German probably means "Madonna of the Protective Cloak". Over the centuries, many sailors have prayed here before and after setting off to fish in Newfoundland or Iceland and given thanks for a safe return home, which was and is by no means a given. The round building is unique in Brittany. We also like to light a candle every now and then with thoughts of trust, requests and thanks for so many good things that we are allowed to experience!

This church and Pommorio Castle are connected by a direct path, and the large gate at the beginning of the path, which has no protective character, separates them. It is interesting that this church is dedicated to St. Columba, an Irish-Scottish monk. We have rarely found these monks in this area, but we know them well from our homeland of Austria.

Built in the 16th and 17th century by the La Feuillée family on a place called Kergrist whose name comes from the Christianization of an ancient Celtic place of worship or a cult propagated by the Templars. The chapel was almost entirely rebuilt in 1893 , it is made of granite and schist. Its general appearance has remained the same since that date. Continuing the chapel you can notice the washhouse as well as the fountain which has been completely redone, from which water flows beneficial for the eyes, a little higher up an ordeal which must also be considered. Inside the chapel, you can discover very beautiful statues, Saint-Laurent, Saint-Yves, Saint-Anne, Sainte-Marguerite, Saint-François d'Assise as well as a mysterious 16th century statuette in polychrome wood it represents a standing character dressed in a long dress, you will also be able to admire the altarpiece restored thanks to funds raised by the association of the companions of Saint Laurent during the various events organized; such as plant festivals, garage sales, exhibitions, small concerts or even storytelling evenings...
