Most Extraordinary Churches of the World

4. Chapel of St. Gildas (Brittany, France)


This precious church is located along the Canal du Blavet in Brittany, France - near the town of Bieuzy-les-Eaux. The chapel was constructed at the location where it is believed St Gildas (an Irish monk) preached to a pagan population in the 6th century. The church was built near where a cave existed at the base of the granite outcrop. St. Gildas and St. Bieuzy lived in the cave while preaching in the area.
