Calvary, Plougastel-Daoulas: Overall view, in the parish church yard

Date

Circa 1910

Part of: Architectural Lantern Slides of France

Breton villages are noted for very elaborate parish closes (an enclosed area around the parish church, including the church yard and a number of other features). In common with others in the area, the Plougastel close features a large, impressive calvary or crucifix which forms the focus of the church yard. The area around Plougastel has 26 crosses which lead pilgrims to the large monument in the church yard, created as an ex voto for the cessation of an epidemic of plague in 1598. It was classified a historic monument in 1889. The base has a pulpit; overall there are about 180 carved figures. It was damaged in WWII and restored; the nearby church was entirely destroyed and rebuilt.
