Comment

The Notre-Dame du Kreisker chapel (in Breton léonard Chapel Introun Varia ar C'hreizkear, "gateway" to the episcopal town of Saint-Pol-de-Léon, is a major building in Breton religious architecture2.

The "boldest piece of architecture he had ever seen "3 according to Vauban on his way to Roscoff, its seventy-eight-meter-high granite bell tower, one of the tallest Gothic monuments and the tallest in Brittany, is the prototype for many Breton open-air bell towers.
