As said the choices are endless and the thrill of visiting them again is always there. Take a look to my corner of the world and you too will know why I am so enthusiastic about my beautiful Morbihan and lovely Bretagne. I was on my road warrior mode to other sights but passed by Plouay with nice memories and stop again by the church, Let me tell you again with new text and pictures on the Church Saint Ouen of Plouay !! Hope you enjoy it as I.
The Parish Church of Saint Ouen was placed under the patronage of Saint Ouen, an archbishop of Rouen, The Church of Saint Ouen was built at the end of the 14C, it has a plan in the shape of a Latin cross, with two aisles. Its limestone and marble choir develops in three parts: a central panel and two concave wings.
In 1876, the church was renewed, redoing the walls of the outline and the roof, without touching the main nave. All that remains is to replace its bell tower and its slate spire with a tower and a stone pyramid.
The altars of the church are dedicated to the Rosary, to St Isidore, to St Joseph and to the Sacred Heart. A large part of the building, in particular the nave and its framework, dates from the 16C. In the large niches you can see the statues of Sainte Barbara and Saint Eloi which seem contemporary, while in the upper niche the statue of Saint Ouen is older.
The War Memorial located on the Place de l’Eglise was built in 1923, On the 4 pillars are the army corps of the Great War (WWI) with an infantryman, an artilleryman, a sailor and an airman.
