context_page_description: The Pleyben Parish close is located at Pleyben within the Châteaulin arrondissement of Brittany in north-western France. The enclos paroissial comprises the parish church dedicated to Saint Germain of Auxerre, a funeral chapel/ossuary, a triumphal arch serving as the enclos entrance and the Calvary at Pleyben. The building is dominated by two bell-towers. One, that on the right, and known as the "Saint Germain", is in the Renaissance style and is topped by a lanterned dome whilst the second bell-tower has a Gothic style spire. Between the two bell-towers there is a stair turret with pinnacles and an ornate spire. It is a listed historical monument since 1846.
context_section_description: In the centre of the church's chevet, there is a stained glass window depicting the Passion of Jesus Christ. There are further windows on each side of this central window. On the left the window depicts the Tree of Jesse and the window to the right depicts a tree representing the church featuring Jesus and his apostles. These windows date to 1879. A window in the south transept depicts scenes from the life of Saint Germain of Auxerre and a window in the north transept is dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria. These two windows were executed in 1917 and are the work of an artist called Plouquet.
