The Saint-Gorgon chapel (also locally called Saint-Golgon, a frequent distortion in the region of the name of this 4th century saint) is located in Trégastel, a seaside resort on the Pink Granite Coast, in Côtes-d'Armor.

It was built in the 17th century at the expense of the Lord of Lannion near a fountain considered sacred. A wing was added in the 18th century on the north side.

The chapel is subject to a pardon at the end of August.

Listed in the inventory of historic monuments in 1954, the building is surrounded by a surrounding wall forming an enclosure as is the tradition in Brittany, and has two entrances, although of reduced size. To the west is a large opening framed by two granite pillars, and to the north, a monumental staircase has been built at the top of which a high granite cross bearing the date 1780 has been installed on its base.

The The chapel also has a bell tower decorated with a lantern.

Although its interior furnishings have been transferred, the chapel where farmers once came to seek protection for their horses was restored in 2006.

It can be visited and can also mark a pleasant hike in this charming coastal town.

The Golgon chapel is located 500 meters from the Traouiero valley in Trégastel in which the two statues of Saint Golgon were made in the fall of 2023 on the site of the old granite quarry, one of which is exposed to the Vallée des Saints in Carnoët, the other is exposed on the edge of the water reservoir leading to the quarry. This green granite sculpture called "Le Traouiero", extracted in the quarry, has a greenish tint specific to the granite from this quarry, historically part of the Trégastel district of Golgon where the chapel is located.
