The church was rebuilt from 1852 to 1868 according to the plans of the builder Yves Hernot on the site of ancient buildings from the 14th and late 16th centuries. Some old elements, such as doors and windows, were reused. The church was consecrated on October 22, 1871, after reconstruction. It contains interesting furniture, including two side altars, a 19th-century pulpit, works by Le Merrer, and especially an exceptional organ. Built in 1653 by the English organ builder Robert Dallam, it was only installed in Lanvellec in 1864, originally coming from the church of Plestin-les-Grèves. Furthermore, the statue of Saint-Efflam still crowns the buffet. It underwent several moves, repairs, and modifications until its total silence in the early thirties. It was saved from dispersion thanks to its classification as a Historic Monument on March 23, 1971. Its restoration in 1985/1986 by an Italian organ builder, restored its full historical truth. It is on this majestic instrument that the Festival de Lanvellec et du Trégor has been relying for 30 years to make ancient music resonate. In flamboyant Gothic style, the ossuary dates from the end of the 15th century and is classified as a Historic Monument. Rectangular in plan, it is made of granite, adorned with seven trefoil arcades and a pointed arch door. In the past, the skulls of the deceased were placed in boxes with their names, ten years after their death. The pardon of Saint-Brandan takes place on the third Sunday of September. 2024: The church is closed for works for several months! Visiting the exteriors is free all year round and the organ visit is only by appointment for groups.

For those who have three minutes "to spare" to observe remembering our ancestors. Some go around on a bike to hurt themselves or have fun, in another era, our ancestors fought to raise monumental stones 🏋 ♂️

The pond of Guic or pond of Guerlesquin located in the regional natural park of Armorique is famous with local fishermen. You can go around the pond by walking for 16 kilometers through woods, groves and rivers.

At Guerlesquin, you have the feeling of being in central Brittany. Like many neighboring villages, the art of Breton dancing is practiced there during Fez Noz, or night party or during Fez Deiz or day party. The village, in addition to its magnificent church dedicated to Saint Ténénan, is home to another granite monument that is found less frequently. The Présidial - such is its name - is a former seigniorial prison. This building was built around 1640 by Vincent du Parc de Kerret, lord of the time. It's a curiosity now.

There are more than 154 menhirs listed in Brittany, including 56 in the department of Finistère alone. These standing stones are called Peulven in the Breton language, which means "stone piles". Here is a very nice specimen. Crec'h in Breton means the hill. In other words, it is the menhir of the hill of Edern.
