The Saint-Fiacre chapel is located in Pont-du-Châtel (municipality of Plouider) in Brittany.
Built in the 16th century, it has the particularity of presenting a bell tower in the so-called Beaumanoir style, which houses a bell dating back to 1647. Dedicated to St Fiacre, the patron saint of gardeners, it is best known for its "leper window" which allowed "kakous" from the neighboring hamlet, cooperage, rope makers and lepers to attend church services without rubbing shoulders with the other faithful .
Note the stoup and the 15th-century Calvary outside.
