The chapelle du Pâtis (or Chapelle Sainte Anne) in La Selle Guerchaise, Brittany, France. This wood chapel is an octagonal pagoda unique in France. It was created in 1875 by the Priest François Lizé from La Selle Guerchaise. He was a missionary in China and took home the pagoda at the end of the 19th century. It is dedicated to the Virgin and Sainte Anne. Sainte Anne is one of the patron saint of the Bretons, the other one is Saint Yves. She is the mother of the Virgin. Inside the chapel you'll see the epitaph of the Priest, nice restored colorful fresco (1875-1876) and three saint statues.
