The Catholic parish church Notre-Dame-de-Croaz-Batz (also Notre-Dame-de-Croas-Batz) in Roscoff, a municipality in the Finistère department in the French region of Brittany, was founded at the suggestion of the town's merchants and shipowners Erected in the Flamboyant Gothic style in the middle of the 16th century. The name of the church, Our Lady of the Cross of Batz, recalls its location near the pier to the island of Batz, where a cross used to stand. In 1886, the church, which belongs to an enclosed parish with a surrounding wall and two ossuary from the 16th and 17th centuries, was added to the list of architectural monuments in France as a monument historique.

The construction of the church began around 1520 on a dune, land on the sea, at the initiative of the city's shipowners. The sacral scope includes the church, 2 ossuary chapels, one Gothic, the other in the style of Henry II, and a funerary monument. The church is in the flamboyant Gothic style.

The Renaissance bell tower dates from 1575-1576 and consists of bells carved in granite. The church's facades are punctuated with stone caves and 18 figured crosses, people and animals.

The first ossuary was built in the 16th century to address the lack of space in the cemetery around the church. The second ossuary dates from the 17th century.

The Church of Our Lady of Croas-Batz is free to visit all year round (currently closed for renovations until September 2022).
