Locmariaquer (French pronunciation: [lɔkmaʁjakɛʁ]; Breton: Lokmaria-Kaer) is a commune in the Morbihan department in Brittany in north-western France.

The municipality of Locmariaquer is located at the western tip of the Gulf of Morbihan in Brittany and has many beaches facing the Atlantic Ocean and the bay Quiberon.

[5][6] Three generations devoted themselves to building oyster parks on the shores of Locmariaquer: they had to remove the mud, replace it with sand, and map out the locations.

The oyster industry grew to be very prosperous: 350 to 400 people worked in the construction of sites and parks almost all year round.

The south gate is protected by an advanced porch whose wooden ceiling was removed in 1988, showing a cartouche bearing the words Haec Porta Coelli (Here is the door of heaven).

Near the southern entrance, in the wall is included a superb granite baptismal font, decorated with leaves and grapes, going back to the 16th century.

In 1960, The twelve windows were equipped with modern stained glass, created by the firm of Rault, glassmaker in Rennes.

Rebuilt in 1883, the chapel is dedicated to Saint Gildas, but also to Father Claude Philippe, a non-juring priest, who died in 1796 and was buried in this place.

The chapel is located north of the town; it was fully restored in recent years by an association that continues to ensure its maintenance.

When the foundations of the present chapel were built, a quantity of medallions bearing the effigy of Caesar and other motifs were found.

On its portal is a decoration depicting three lily flowers in relief and a stone bearing the date 1813 and a damaged patch representing the arms of Robien.

Built on the rocks at the edge of Kerpenhir in 1962: 2.70 m high, it was carved in granite by Jules-Charles Le Bozec in 1946 but spent 16 years in the church before being moved to its present location.

Here men have left a legacy of prestigious burial structures prefiguring the era of the great pyramids.
