The Château de La Roche-Maurice, a historic Breton jewel from the 13th century, dazzles with its medieval architecture. Nestled in lush greenery, it offers an immersive experience in the feudal past.

A flamboyant Gothic church, Notre-Dame du Folgoët is a major building of 15th century Breton architecture whose fame extends well beyond Léon. This monument, witness to the history of an entire country and its inhabitants, has seen great names pass through its walls (Anne of Brittany, François 1st, etc.). A spiritual center, particularly at the time of his famous pardon, this basilica also has undeniable architectural, cultural and even political and economic importance. Its popularity also owes a lot to the many mysteries that surround it and which make this religious building a unifying heritage of the Coast of Legends.

Dated by historical works, the church was rebuilt in 1725. Nothing is known about the previous building. The place called Coz Iliz, the Old Church, to the south-east of the town, suggests that there was a building which served as a place of worship, which would explain the presence of the devotional fountain of Saint Edultride. The bell tower houses a bell dated 1776.

A large basilica for such a small town
