Church of Sainte-Trinité de Kerfeunteun

Quimper, FR

The Trinity Church on Missilien Street is a fine example of a parish enclosure with three founding elements: the placister, the calvary and the fountain. The church is built in an enclosure bounded by a wall, the placister. Just to the left of the entrance, there is a stone blocking the entrance, which can be easily stepped over by man: it is the impassable stiles for animals that prevent them from wandering around in the parish enclosure. It is easy to imagine the cows wandering through this corner of the countryside.
