In a classical way, the parish paddock of the Roche-Mauritius includes a calvary, a church and a ossuary. While calvary is characterized by simplicity, church and calvary are beautiful examples of the Renaissance style of the country. In the church, rebuilt in the th century on a previous building, you can only admire the jubé. With polychrome wood and made by a morlaisien sculptor, it is the centrepiece. Representing a variety of local characters, apostles and saints, with many original reasons, it is even considered one of the most beautiful of Brittany. The sand retrace moments of daily life as well as biblical scenes. Carried out by local artists, ossuary is also a fine example of the religious architecture of modern times. In the stone, carved characters such as the Ankou (the death knight) are depicted in the form of a skeleton with a false. Some inscriptions carved in Latin remind the human condition.

Magnifique église placée sous la protection de St Yves intégrée à un enclos paroissial, réputée pour son jubé en bois polychrome heureusement conservé malgré l'exigence de l'église de les supprimer pour "rapprocher le peuple des nobles". C'est vraiment un petit bijou.... et en plus lorsque l'on peut bénéficier de la guidance d'un étudiant en histoire de l'art présent sur le site durant l'été.
