A New Tabernacle Door for the Château du Colombier Chapel

In the heart of the Château du Colombier, near Saint-Malo, the chapel is gently continuing its embellishment. Its 19th-century high altar has just welcomed a new tabernacle door, adorned with a cross delicately crafted in gold leaf.

This intervention, discreet but precious, harmoniously complements the ancient religious furnishings of the Château du Colombier chapel. The glow of the gold leaf now complements the deep tones of the sculpted and stained wooden high altar, naturally drawing the eye toward the center of the tabernacle.

A 19th-century high altar in neobaroque style

Probably made in the second half of the 19th century, the high altar features a historicist style with neobaroque inspiration. Its curved facade, generous moldings, and carved vegetal ornaments give it a presence that is both solemn and elegant.

Some neoclassical elements, notably the perfect symmetry of its composition and the ordered architecture of the tabernacle, balance this dark wood ensemble. Statues of the Virgin and saints, ancient stained glass windows, and golden decorations of the chapel extend this peaceful atmosphere, characteristic of 19th-century religious heritage.

Preserving the heritage of Château du Colombier

The new tabernacle door was designed to respect the spirit of the high altar and integrate naturally into its decor. Its gold leaf cross brings a luminous touch without disrupting the harmony of the ancient furnishings.

Through this embellishment, the Château du Colombier once again affirms its commitment to the preservation of Breton architectural and religious heritage. This chapel is one of the most intimate testimonies of the domain's history and fully contributes to the charm of this characterful hotel located at the gates of Saint-Malo.

Staying at Château du Colombier means discovering much more than a charming hotel in Brittany: it means entering a living place, where history, heritage, and the art of hospitality continue to converse.
