This church was built in several stages. The original building, dating back to between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, was modified several times over the centuries. In the seventeenth century, an ossuary was added to house bones from the cemetery, an unusual feature of the church. During your visit, be sure to take a look at the balustered gallery and granite dome. In the nineteenth century, the campanile with three bells was replaced with the granite arcature which you can see today. In the close, you will find the tomb of the Breton writer Charles le Goffic. Passionate about the area, he celebrated its identity throughout his life (1863-1932) through numerous literary works.
