The churches and the chapel
Add to favourites
Bénodet has been blessed with a remarkable architectural heritage, so you'll often turn a corner to discover a beautiful surprise, perhaps even a hidden chapel.
St. Thomas Church
The Church of Saint Thomas is located on the port of Bénodet. It is dedicated to Saint Thomas Becket. Built in the 13th century, it originally had only one nave and a small bell tower. It was enlarged during the 16th century, then remodeled in the 19th century with the reuse of old elements.
The church is open daily from 10am to 19pm.
Notre-Dame-de-la Mer
This modern church is characterized by its contemporary architecture. It was built in 1968 on Avenue de la Mer, a stone's throw from Trez Beach.
It includes a curiosity with the presence of a wooden pieta from the end of the 15th century.
The church is open from mid-July to mid-August, Monday to Saturday from 10am to 30pm.

Perguet Chapel
Used as Bénodet's parish church until 1878, the Romanesque part of the church dates from the late XNUMXs.
The Perguet Chapel is located on the road to Bénodet and Fouesnant. The enclosure, which surrounds the church, was an old cemetery. Its calvary, restored in 1989, represents Saint Laurent and Saint Brigitte. This church is dedicated to these two saints. The statuary, the altar and the stained glass windows have benefited from restoration. They present a polychromy of high quality.
Korean artist KIM EN JOONG redesigned the stained glass windows, bringing a contemporary touch to the building.
Pratical information
The chapel is currently closed to visitors due to upcoming works.
