Crucifixion window in Ploemel

The crucifixion window in the Catholic chapel of St-Méen in Saint-Méen , a district of the French commune of Ploemel in the Morbihan department of Brittany , was probably created in 1556. The stained glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1917 as Monument historique .

The central window in the choir was created by an unknown workshop. It shows a crucifixion scene with the crucifixion of Jesus and the lamentation of Christ on three lancets (bottom center). Saint Méen is depicted on the lower left and the founder (kneeling) on ​​the far right.

In 1902, when the window was restored by the Laumonnier studio, new panes were installed in the tracery . The last restoration by the Atelier Hubert de Sainte Marie took place in 1962.
