The church of Saint-Guenolé has two strange menhirs on its southern side and is endowed with a marble plaque and a wooden pulpit.

This church was constructed on the remains of the Benedictines of Landévennec built in the 12th century. In August 1790, Abbot Guillaume-Alexandre Le Guellec informed the administrators of Finistère that his church may fall in ruins and basic work were done. It is only under the offices of Abbot Le Borgne (1898-1910) that the present church, dedicated to Saint Guénolé was rebuilt. Although it does not have any artistic style, Senans are proud of it and they worked there in the intervals of respite left to them by their maritime profession. Men designed the stones from the shore while the women transported them here as the Latin inscription on the main doorway "State Virtute Dei And Sudore Plebis" (Debout par la volonté de Dieu et la sueur du peuple). A marble plaque fixed inside the church gives details of its construction in Breton and its consecration on the 8th of July 1902. The superbly carved wood pulpit is a donation of the Filles du Saint-Esprit religious congregation. On its south side two curious menhirs are referred to as the "talkers".
