Holy Window (Quéménéven)

Holy Window in Quéménéven

The window of saints in Quéménéven , a French commune in the Finistère department of Brittany , was created in the mid-16th century. The stained glass window in the Notre-Dame chapel in the Kergoat district was added to the list of architectural monuments in France as Monument historique in 1898 .

Window number 6 in the choir was created by an unknown workshop. It shows four saints on two lancets , the representations come from different windows and were brought together here in the 19th century.

In the tracery the blessing God the Father is shown, left and right of it are soldiers.

In addition to the saints window, nine other remarkable windows from the 15th and 16th centuries have been preserved in the chapel (see navigation bar).
