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.

On weekends, the Lakeside Langoëlan bar is worth a detour—or rather, the approach to Langoëlan is even nicer than by road. It has a different name on Maps.

Bat House: A unique museum in France entirely dedicated to the ladies of the night. You'll discover everything about their lifestyle and preconceived notions through a modern, playful, and accessible exhibition design. You'll observe the Greater Horseshoe Bat live on the church roof. In summer, don't miss "Bat Nights," a magical experience offered by the museum by reservation. Our Lady of Kernascléden Church: The parish church, which was once a simple chapel, was built between 1420 and 1464. It is one of the finest examples of Flamboyant Gothic art in Brittany, recognizable by its slender lines, sculpted decorations, and rich architecture. It is a veritable lacework of stone carved from granite. You'll also see the Danse Macabre there. A terrifying masterpiece depicting the triumph of death. As you enter the village, just 200 m on your left, you will find the Notre-Dame fountain.

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 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.

Labeled "Commune du patrimoine rural de Bretagne", this commune is endowed with an important architectural and historical heritage of great value such as churches, chapels, fountains, castles and manors and remarkable villages in the town as well as in the Ploërdutaise countryside. In the town, there is the church dedicated to Saint Idult in the 11th century and subsequently dedicated to Saint Pierre in the 15th century. It is one of the rare examples of Romanesque art in Brittany. From the outside, the church in the shape of a Latin cross displays a length that seems disproportionate to the squat silhouette of the bell tower pierced on each side by small loophole windows. Inside the south porch, near the ossuary, sandpits are carved with crocodile heads. Ask for the keys at the Town Hall to enter.
