Kreisker chapel

Local nameChapelle Notre-Dame du Kreisker
LocationSaint-Pol-de-Léon, France

The Notre-Dame du Kreisker chapel is a Roman Catholic chapel in Saint-Pol-de-Léon in Brittany, France. The 78-metre tower of the "Chapelle du Kreisker" is the highest in Brittany. The word Kreisker means the downtown.

Built in the 14th and 15th centuries on the site of an ancient place of worship, it is one of the major works of Breton religious architecture and a testimony of the flourishing economy of the town in the 15th century. An essential coastal landmark for navigation, it was for that reason restored and thus saved from destruction on Napoleon’s order in 1807. There is a striking view from the top.
