Church of a touching sobriety, with beautiful stone arches and vaults
Since its origin, at the beginning of the 12th century, the church of Saint-Tudy has undergone several works and modifications. Of a touching sobriety, the church has managed to preserve its very pure interior of Romanesque style, despite its facade and its bell tower which date from the 18th century. It is 33 m long and has beautiful arcades and stone vaults. In the cemetery just in front of the church, one can discover a Gallic fluted stele of two meters high! To its left is another small 18th century chapel, Porz-Bihan.

Elle fait partie des rares églises romanes de Bretagne à être parvenues jusqu'à nous avec, entre autres, l'église de Locmaria en Quimper, l'abbatiale Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé et l'église Saint-Pierre de Fouesnant.
Sa restauration — en deux volets dans le courant du XIXe siècle — fut suivie par Prosper Mérimée et Jean-Baptiste Lassus, et menée par Joseph Bigot et Paul Gout, ce qui peut dénoter une certaine importance architecturale de l'édifice.
