The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ce calvaire était anciennement situé à Plourivo. La chapelle appartiendrait au 16e siècle, mais aurait subi des modifications importantes aux 17e et 19e siècles. Elle comporte une nef avec deux petites chapelles formant transept et un porche latéral sud. Le seul élément intéressant est le petit calvaire, probablement du 18e siècle, qui doit provenir du cimetière qui entourait l'église, et qui a été placé au sommet de l'arc du portail sud. Cette chapelle conserverait les restes d'un fils et d'un petit-fils de Napoléon III.

This calvary was formerly located at Plourivo. The chapel would belong to the 16th century, but would appear to have undergone significant modifications in the 17th and 19th centuries. It comprises a nave with two small chapels forming a transept and a south lateral porch. The only interesting element is the small calvary, probably from the 18th century, which must come from the cemetery that surrounded the church, and which has been placed at the top of the arch of the south portal. This chapel would preserve the remains of a son and a grandson of Napoleon III.
