La chapelle Saint-Yves et le château du Coscro

It is the largest chapel in Lignol, tradition says that it owes its construction to a miracle of Saint Yves who extinguished the fire in a religious house in the village with a sign of the cross. West facade surmounted by a bell tower with openwork balustrade, portal in pointed arch, crawling decorated with vegetable crosses, ... so many details which sublimate this facade of the XVIth century. Inside, elements of sculpted sand pits remain. They reveal fantastic animals, characters and geometric patterns. “Old fortified house until the beginning of the 17th century, the property is located on a slight promontory in a meander of the Scorff. Transformed into a farm and then abandoned, vandalized and invaded by vegetation, it would gradually die off. In 1984, with my wife, we decided to ward off this bad fate first of all by safeguarding and then restoring, to end up in the position of owner manager and patron. ” Daniel Piquet.
