Dating from 1666, the building takes its name from a former archbishop who died in 762. In the shape of a Latin cross, the western portal is dominated by a projecting square tower, resting on four consoles. The building preserves a polychrome wooden statue representing the Trinity, dating from the 17th century.

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.

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.

Founded by the lords of Kermerien, only the original western gate, dating from the 15th century, remains today. The current building was rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century.

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.

Established as a parish in 1853, this village is located on a granite site marked by history, where traces of the work of Gallo-Roman quarrymen still remain. Located near the main road linking Vannes to Carhaix, the granite was used to build the most beautiful residences of the ancient city of Vogium (Carhaix). The Notre-Dame-de-la-Fosse chapel, built at the foot of the former quarry face, is accessible by a majestic granite staircase. The facade is sculpted with a bas-relief representing Saint Roch, invoked against the plague since the 15th century and linked to the supposed miraculous properties of the fountain. The south wall is decorated with the coat of arms of the Lescobic family of Kerfandol, on which we find a wild boar.
