Chapel of Sainte-Marguerite

Rising 78 metres towards the sky, the bell tower of the Notre Dame du Kreisker chapel is the highest in Brittany. Its foundation dates back to the 6th century. A young linen maid who had worked on a non-working feast day in honour of the Virgin, despite the admonitions of Saint Kirec (or Guévroc), was suddenly paralysed from all her limbs. After his repentance, the saint was healed and she gave him her house to make a chapel. It was named "Kreis- ker" because it was situated in the middle of a village, a suburb of the city. The first wooden chapel did not resist the ravages of the Normans in the 9th century. Tradition reports that the English, after having burnt the town in 1375, rebuilt the Kreisker, certain architectural elements such as the "perpendicular style" to the tower's stump being clearly influenced from across the Channel.

Situated on the northern Finistère coast, Saint-Pol de Léon is a city of art and history with a monumental architectural heritage. Inherited from a time of prosperity and opulence, the monuments of the former episcopal city are of exceptional quality and constitute an essential historical centre in Brittany. St Paul Aurélien Cathedral, a true architectural jewel, bears witness to the soul and history of the land of Leon.

The church stands in the heart of the village of the smallest commune of Finistère (with its 87 ha). The church of Saint-Guénolé rises near the Liberté oak tree, like an old lady who hasn't aged a day. A heritage phoenix, whose rescue is praised by the Locquenolesians.
