    The current parish church has replaced a 14th-century medieval chapel dedicated to Saint-Yves (Testament of Hervé de Léon, dated 1363). It was built in the 16th century. It was at first the Trevial Church of Ploudiry until 1791. The Rohans ceded the land free of charge and paid numerous subsidies to support the building's reconstruction, which took almost half a century to complete. In fact, the stained glass window in the apse dates from 1589; the south portal dates from 1550, the 60 meter high bell tower from 1589. With its double gallery and double bell chamber, it is characteristic of the Leonardo Renaissance. The south portal consists of two double doors framed by an extravagant Renaissance arcade in which the twelve apostles nestle.
