Chapelle Notre-Dame de Tronoën

Chapelle Notre-Dame de Tronoën
Next to the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Tronoën is the large calvary, one of the landmarks of Brittany.

Erected 1450/1470, this is the oldest of the great calvaries in Brittany. The rectangular base measures 4,5m x 3,5m. Under the crucifiction are two friezes, depicting themes from the New Testament. There are lots of scenes and details.


Harrowing of Hell (aka "Descensus Christi ad Inferos"). Adam, Eve and the first of the "righteous men and women" can be seen, striding through the Hellmouth.
