This perfectly maintained chapel is dedicated to Saint Jaoua, second bishop of Léon. Its enclosure is particularly interesting.

A flamboyant Gothic church, Notre-Dame du Folgoët is a major building of 15th century Breton architecture whose fame extends well beyond Léon. This monument, witness to the history of an entire country and its inhabitants, has seen great names pass through its walls (Anne of Brittany, François 1st, etc.). A spiritual center, particularly at the time of his famous pardon, this basilica also has undeniable architectural, cultural and even political and economic importance. Its popularity also owes a lot to the many mysteries that surround it and which make this religious building a unifying heritage of the Coast of Legends.
