Brennilis Parish close (original) (raw)

The Brennilis Parish close (Enclos paroissial) comprising the Église Notre-Dame and a Calvary sculpted by Roland Doré (sculptor) is located in the arrondissement of Châteaulin in Finistère in Brittany in north-western France. The name Brennilis is made up of two Breton words- "Bren" means a hill and "iliz" means a church. Brennilis stands at the foot of Brasparts' Mont Saint-Michel in the Monts d'Arrée. The Église Notre Dame dates to 1485 according to an inscription near the main altar which reads "Yves Toux, procureur, l'an 1485, commencement de cette chapelle". * The west door of the church
