Imposing granite church, built in the first half of the 16th century. In front of it an equally imposing Calvary from the 16th century. After the original statues were destroyed in the French Revolution, they were replaced by new ones in the course of the 19th century.

The church can be visited and is well worth it.

"The late Gothic church of Notre-Dame was built between 1528 and 1544 by Alain de Rosmadec and his wife, Jeanne du Chastel, as a three-aisled church with a three-sided chancel. The three-bay central nave opens into the side aisles through wide arcades. Above the west portal is the slender, turret-like bell tower, characteristic of the region, executed in fine tracery. The tower's current appearance is the result of work carried out between 1711 and 1736. The church has been a parish church since 1910.

The church's interior contains a rare wheel-shaped carillon from the 16th century, which is individually classified as a historical monument. The heads of the statues of the twelve apostles on Calvary in front of the church were cut off during the French Revolution and buried nearby. They were rediscovered in 1849, restored, and installed in the west façade of the church. Around 1870, the Calvary itself was provided with new statues and the crucifix."
