The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Petit édicule abritant une fontaine et un oratoire, bâti au 15e siècle sur l'emplacement, selon la tradition, où Saint-Brieuc éleva son premier oratoire en fondant la cité. Par sa disposition, l'ouvrage ressemble à un porche d'entrée d'église. D'un côté, il est adossé à une chapelle reconstruite au 19e siècle et, sur les trois autres faces, il est ouvert par des arcatures moulurées et ornées de sculptures. Sur les angles se trouvent des contreforts surmontés de pinacles. La couverture est en pierre.

History
Small edifice sheltering a fountain and an oratory, built in the 15th century on the site, according to tradition, where Saint Brieuc raised his first oratory in founding the city. By its arrangement, the work resembles a porch entrance of a church. On one side, it is backed against a chapel rebuilt in the 19th century and, on the three other faces, it is open by moulded arcatures and ornamented with sculptures. On the angles are found buttresses surmounted by pinnacles. The roof covering is in stone.
