Go there and contact
Built between 1705 and 1707, Saint-Pierre church was apparently restored around 1895 and is the religious building of the parish of the former diocese of Cornouaille, which was maintained during the Concordat. Rectangular in plan, it has a nave with 4 bays with aisles, a transept, a choir with cut sections, as well as a tower dating from the early 18th century. Its single-gallery bell tower dates from the same period as well as its octagonal arrow. In its bosom, we can discover several ancient statues from the 16th and 17th centuries, made of stone, plaster and wood, representing Saint Paul, Christ on the cross from Saint Vincent, Saint Anne and Mary, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Saint Vennec as a monk, Saint Eloi as a bishop, Saint Cornelius, Saint Herbotsaint Joseph with Jesus and the Virgin Mary on gilt wood. Namely: a statue of Saint Guénolé was also present, but this one was transferred to the Quimper Museum. The transept windows are signed M.F. Huré, in 1929, in the aisles they are the stained glass windows of the Fr. Razin workshop, dating from 1941. Near the church, the war memorial was created by the sculptor Quillivic.
