Built in 1865 by the Countess of Cossé-Brissac, this chapel was built in homage to Saint Anne, in accordance with the promise made at the birth of her daughter. It is distinguished by its door surmounted by a rosette-shaped stained-glass window and a steeple with a granite balcony. Modest in size, the chapel was initially reserved exclusively for the service of the lords of the manor.

It was built between 1450 and 1480 in the flamboyant Gothic style. Step inside to admire the most remarkable feature of the place: a splendid polychrome wooden rood screen. To this day, this rood screen is one of the most beautiful polychrome rood screens in Brittany. A fountain is worth seeing nearby.

Completed in the 16th century in the Gothic style, the church features Romanesque vaults, testifying to an older building. Outside, opening onto the porch, the 16th-century ossuary is distinguished by its three elegant basket-handle arches, resting on charming molded columns. Upon entering the church, one immediately sees the blue vault, a symbol of the sky in Romanesque art. The decoration continues with the polychrome wooden sablières, displaying scenes of hunting and everyday life.

Its origins lie in a feudal mound built around 1050 by a lord named Guégant. Established as a principality in 1570, the commune preserves a rich historical heritage, such as the Queen's Baths (currently the Tourist Office), medieval walls, the guard tower, the gatehouse of the Rohan castle, the Limbour house and numerous half-timbered houses. In the village, there is also the Notre-Dame de la Fosse church which dates from the 19th century. The current church replaces an older building which once served as a collegiate church. Capital of the Pays Pourlet and labeled "Small town of character", Guémené is also known throughout France for its famous andouille, celebrated every year during the big festival which takes place on the 4th Sunday of August. It is renowned for the artisanal production of authentic “andouille de Guémené”, recognizable by its concentric appearance when cut.

Built in 1542, the building underwent numerous restorations in the 19th and 20th centuries. Rectangular in shape (53m x 19m), the market halls cover an area of 940 m2. They still house the market on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesdays of the month and host various events throughout the year.

Built in the 17th century, the building was destroyed by lightning on March 5, 1959. It had a Latin cross plan finished with three-sided gables at the choir and transepts. The new church dates from 1962. Materials from the old building were reused as much as possible for its construction. It was reoriented so that its main facade aligned with the town square. Its general shape remains that of a Latin cross. The bell tower stands outside the building. It is composed of a square granite tower, topped with a balustrade, an openwork polygonal drum, and a thin slate spire. Since 2006, the church has housed a monumental fresco: The Washing of the Feet (oil on canvas, 4 m x 6 m), the work of Yannig Guillevic. Near the church stands the cross from the old cemetery, whose four sculpted sides depict scenes from the life of Christ: his baptism, his arrest in the Garden of Olives, his flagellation, and the carrying of the cross. For those with a sweet tooth, the Pâtisseries Gourmandes shop in Saint-Tugdual is a must-visit. It offers a wide range of Breton specialties such as madeleines, pound cakes, galettes, and biscuits, all at very attractive prices.
