This building, a rare example of Breton Romanesque architecture, is a granite church of the 12th century which is particularly distinguished by its sculptures on the porch and the capitals decorated with the nave. It would have been included in particular the fight between King Arthur and Eflam against the dragon who lived in the shelter of the rock of Roch Hirglas, near Lannion. The upper part of the church, ranging from center to bedside, is in Gothic style and date of the 15th century.
