    A few steps from the top of Pontusval, on a rocky outcrop, stands the Pol Chapel. Restored, even rebuilt in 1870, it replaced an older chapel, probably from the 16th century. This sanctuary was built on the site of a monastic asylum built by Saint Pol Aurélien, the first bishop of Léon. The chapel is framed by a pretty 17th-century cross and a magnificent 16th-century calvary with figures. A curious stone gatehouse was built on a nearby rock for the customs officials, accessible via a staircase carved directly into the rock. From this magnificent observation post, which encompassed the pagan lands from the shores of Pontusval to those of Kerlouan, the Coast Guard militiamen monitored the possible approach.
