En source Info Bretagne ile de Brehat:
the Corderie or Notre-Dame de Keranroux chapel (18th century), rebuilt in 1860, under the episcopate of Bishop David, whose arms adorn the choir. It is a rectangular building with a canted apse. The chapel was for several centuries a separate chapel from the parish of Bréhat-Bourg: it was attached to the parish in 1700. Before 1789, the religious building was served by the Récollets from Île Verte. The chapel was sold as national property, at auction in 1795, then bought back by the inhabitants. The chapel houses a statue of Notre-Dame de Keranroux, hidden by parishioners during the Revolution on the islet of Roc'h ar Velen, in the cove of the Corderie. It is the chapel of the seafarers and contains many ex-votos of sailors. Near the chapel, there was once a Calvary bearing the date of 1752 and destroyed in 1975. "Rectangular building with canted chevet, rebuilt in the 19th century under the episcopate of Mgr. David, as indicated by the arms of this prelate In modern stained-glass windows: Saint Maudez "(R.
