Pluzunet: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Pluzunet combines sacred architecture, Breton storytelling tradition and connections to the surrounding landscape extending into the wider region. Its history is reflected in churches and chapels, as well as in a statue, changing exhibitions and a market offering regional products.

Culture and history

The Chapelle Notre-Dame du Loch was built in the second quarter of the 18th century after a statue of the Virgin Mary was discovered in a field. Its Renaissance furnishings, Latin-cross ground plan and polygonal chancel shape the building; it also features a bell gable flanked by buttresses. The chapel is open on request at the town hall and is located along a hiking trail.

The Saint-Pierre church was originally built in the Gothic style. It was enlarged in the 17th century before being largely rebuilt between 1847 and 1849. Older parts of the tower and the south portal were preserved. Inside, Saint-Pierre retains elements of Flamboyant Gothic: four pillars, probably dating from the 14th century, with small columns, tracery in the window openings and a remnant of a tomb niche in the north transept.

The Chapelle Saint-Idunet has been documented since 1379 and was rebuilt in 1895. New stained-glass windows were installed in its side windows on the north and south sides in 2011.

Another trace of Breton culture leads to Marc'harit Fulup, who was born in Pluzunet in 1837 and collected Breton stories and songs. A statue of her was unveiled in the village square on 11 September 1910. The Pluzunet Médiathèque also serves as an exhibition venue; paintings and photography exhibitions selected by Annie Lefèvre alternate there.
