Ecomusée de Plouguerneau – Association Karreg IR depuis 1985

The Dominican missionary and priest Michel le Nobletz was born in 1577 in Plouguerneau and returned there after long years of study. From 1607 to 1608 he lived as a hermit in asceticism and poorness near the chapel St. Michel.

Some reproductions and an exhibition (guided tours for groups on reservation) are witnesses of his journeys as a catholic missionary, adored as well as rejected, and his invention: painted religious panels. These panels, ancestors of the so-called 'taolennoù' , which have been used in Brittany up to the fifties of the last century, display the way to paradise in colourful pictures.

Groups and school-classes: The chapel and the exhibition can be visited all year after reservation.
