Church of SANT-SERVAIS Impressive ensemble consisting of church, ossuary (now museum) and adjoining triumphal arch. The church also reveals numerous original carpentry works with decorations, such as the theatricality of the interior or the literally fantastic stonework that adorns the façade.

Church from the book and film “the mystery of Henri Pick”. I was here on a Saturday evening during my walk and a little before 6pm. I was most kindly invited to find a spot. Very friendly people and what a beautiful location for a church.

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.

The publisher's information on the book by David Foenkinos (on which the film is based) states: "In a small, remote village in Brittany there is a very special library. Books are collected here that were never allowed to be published. One day a young editor discovers a manuscript that causes excitement and life even in the capital Paris changed many people. The author, Henri Pick, was the local pizza maker. But his widow claims that he never read a single book in his life and never wrote anything down on paper other than shopping lists. Did Monsieur Pick lead a secret second life? A charming novel - light, lively and full of humor."

Le Faou has a small old town with the very typical medieval houses of Brittany and a beautiful church with an interior worth seeing.

Nice to see when you drive past it in the valley. It's impressive how the dilapidated castle 🏰 sits at the top of the hill. La Roche Maurice, residence of the Viscounts of Léon The castle was first mentioned in 1263, but it is undoubtedly older. With those of MORLAIX, BREST and LESNEVEN, it was one of the most important fortresses of the Viscounts of Léon. These lords wielded considerable power: in addition to their land income, they possessed the right to control ships that ran aground on the shores of Léon, the monopoly of salt production and the catching of large fish, the right to high, middle and low justice, the law , to mint money and build fortresses without requiring the Duke's permission. As a result, this prince could hardly control the actions of these powerful feudal lords, which explains why Henry II Plantagenet, King of England, wanted to get his hands on the duchy in the third quarter of the 12th century, they were among his most ardent opponents.

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.
