Lanmeur - Saint-Mélar
This large church in the center of Lanmeur is dedicated to Saint-Mélar. Saint-Mélar was a Breton prince in the 6th century who unfortunately had a very thuggish and ambitious uncle. To get rid of a possible rival the uncle had Saint-Mélar´s right hand and left foot amputated. Then he locked the crippled nephew in a monastery. To get him out of the way, he finally beheaded him. That´s what the legends tell.
The church seen here was erected around 1903/04 as a modern successor of the 12th-century, that had been here before. The crypt, where the tomb of Saint-Mélar was kept once, still exists.
