The Saint-Sébastien chapel of Fréhel, in the Côtes-d'Armor, 30 km west of Dinard, was built in the 16th century in a green valley, a few hectometers back from the coast.
It succeeded a Templar chapel.
Built in granite rubble and freestone, it consists of a rectangular nave flanked by a square chapel, on the south side. The building also has the singularity of having three entrances adorned with moldings on the uprights with archivolts with hooks.
The chapel was once the object of pilgrimages, the population venerating this saint to cure infectious diseases, in particular the plague.
Flamboyant Gothic style with some Renaissance influences, it is also covered with an exposed frame and paneled in the nave.
In the 19th century, the building deteriorated and despite its inclusion in the Inventory in 1928, its condition remained worrying until an association of volunteer enthusiasts undertook its restoration.
These same volunteers provide guided tours by reservation: contact +33 2 96 41 41 56. Enough to enhance a walk in this extraordinary setting that is the cape Fréhel…
