Guimiliau ossuary (St-Miliau)
The ossuary in Guimiliau , a French commune in the Finistère department in Brittany , was built in the early 17th century. In 1906, the small ossuary , which was added to the southern portal of the church of St-Miliau , was included in the list of architectural monuments in France as part of the enclosed parish as Monument historique .
The open building made of local granite is supported by columns. Stone slabs with reliefs depicting scenes from the passion story are attached to the base.
