The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Un chemin côtier sépare la chapelle, le colombier et leurs enclos des habitations du lieu-dit Kerigou et en particulier du logis du manoir. Le manoir, dont il ne reste qu'un corps de logis en équerre très modifié, appartenait à la fin du 17e siècle aux Coetlosquet, dont le blason figure à côté de la statue sur la façade ouest de la chapelle ; le lambris de couvrement, ajouté au 19e siècle, porte un décor peint en médaillon. La chapelle de la seconde moitié du 17e siècle, primitivement dédiée à Saint-Jean, prend le vocable Saint-Charles-Borromée en 1703. La colombier revêt un caractère exceptionnel par ses dimensions réduites et sa forme octogonale.

History
A coastal path separates the chapel, the dovecote and their enclosures from the dwellings of the locality of Kerigou and in particular from the main dwelling of the manor. The manor, of which only a very modified L-shaped main dwelling remains, belonged at the end of the 17th century to the Coetlosquet family, whose coat of arms appears beside the statue on the west façade of the chapel; the ceiling panelling, added in the 19th century, bears decoration painted in medallions. The chapel of the second half of the 17th century, originally dedicated to Saint-John, takes the dedication of Saint-Charles-Borromée in 1703. The dovecote presents an exceptional character through its reduced dimensions and its octagonal form.
