Parish church built around 1370 on the site of a Benedictine priory founded in the 12th century

This parish church and former collegiate church of Saint-Tremeur was built in 1370 on the site of a Benedictine priory founded in the twelfth century. The saint to whom this church is dedicated appears at the right place on the tympanum of the gate. A bell tower-door was affixed by 1530 on the western facade of the collegiate church. It was listed as a historic monument in 1921. The entrance gate and the bay of the rostrum are topped by a gothic style ogee arch and its upper part influenced by re-emergent art. At that time, a granite arrow surmounted the Saint-Tremeur tower, with all of it reaching a height of 75 metres! Unfortunately, she was struck down in 1575 ... The other parts of the church were rebuilt in neo-Gothic style in 1880 following the architectural plans a diocesan from Saint-Brieuc called Guerranic.

Lorsqu'on s'approche de Carhaix, on aperçoit au loin la flèche de cette église qui surplombe toute la ville. Belle et impressionnante extérieurement, l'édifice comprend de belles pièces intérieures, notamment des statues de saints sur les murs et colonnes.
