In front of the church on the left there is a wonderful boulangerie / patisserie called "Le Pêche Mignon"

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.

The current parish church is a large neo-Gothic style building. Built in 1864, it was dedicated the following year. The new church replaced a century-old building, dating back to 1763.

The seahorse which stands facing the sea at a place called Pors ar Stréat has become over time an emblem of Plouescat. This beautiful sea animal was sculpted at the end of the 1980s, by a local stonemason, in a block of granite extracted from the Plouescataise quarry of Kerzéan, at the initiative of a sculptor participating in the exhibition of summer art of the time, Plouesc'Art. Exhibited for a summer in the courtyard of the Anita-Conti school, the seahorse, purchased by the municipality, was installed for a long time in the heart of the village, before finding its definitive place, since 2005, by the sea .

A large basilica for such a small town

The poor seahorse was once the center of Plouescat. It was banned from there for unknown reasons. Now it stands here in Porsmeur, steadfastly defying the tidal environment. A place 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.
