Guimiliau

Six miles from Thegonnec is another town with a famous church and calvaire, 
Guimiliau















Beautiful carving in interior


















Patron saint of swordsmen?


















All the beams holding up the 16th century roof appear  original, unadorned, 
except for
This one
But the most interesting aspect was the church floor-plan... a central aisle, 
two side aisles, and then an extra side aisle on the south side
Guimiliau's calvaire
Last Supper
And, the depiction of the young woman who did not fully confess her sins--
being sent to Hell
