About this building
It was built on the site of an old chapel, apparently erected in the 6th century. From 1130, "the pardon" of Notre-Dame de Coz-Ilis was one of the most frequented by Breton sailors.
Rectangular in shape, it has a single nave with a flat chevet and a small bell tower on the west wall. The chapel has many historical figures, including a gate dating from the sixteenth century and the coat of arms of the lords of the Park. Inside, there is also a Pieta, a virgin with a child, a Saint-Antoine or Saint-Maudez, an archangel Saint-Michel and two unidentified statues (all from the XVI-XVIIth century).
