ST. ROCH'S CHAPEL
About 2,5 km from the village. Built in 1450 by Alain IX of Rohan, after the plague struck on Blain, thanks to the desire of the Blinois who swore to raise a chapel to God, if disease saving. It was built on a megalithic mound (the small Fou Fou), like most of the Breton holy places, it christianisa a sacred site site. It was built in the th century but was subject to significant changes in the th century. In particular, it houses the greatest fresco of the twentieth century, one of the performances is devoted to Macabre Dance. The place where she was erected was devoted to a pagan cult called mad stone, he attracted many pilgrims until 1966. It is subject to the rules in force among the Companions who are builders, that is, it is oriented west-east. The door is at the sunset, to the west, it opens onto the shadow, the country of the dead, to go east, the choir, the light, the sacred space where the divine liturgy unfolds. To discover the chapel, the keys to the tourist office must be removed for an autonomous visit.
