The Oratory of Saint-Guirec dates back to the 12th century. A statue of Saint Guirec is housed in a small niche. For centuries, women, especially, have made pilgrimages here to pray for their husbands' safety at sea or to wish for a husband. According to an old tradition, unmarried women place a pine needle in the statue's nose; if it remains stuck during the next high tide, it is considered a sign of an impending wedding. The original 14th-century wooden statue was moved to the Chapel of Saint-Guirec in 1904, while the granite statue that replaced it was partially damaged in 1934.

The pink granite formed approximately 300 million years ago in the Upper Carboniferous during the Variscan orogeny, a period of mountain building resulting from the collision of the ancient continents Gondwana and Laurussia, as well as several microplates. Erosion of the overlying layers of the earth and gradual degradation due to rising sea levels after the last ice age led to a widening of the fracture surfaces of the orthogonal fracture system and the formation of the special rock formations. These are best viewed on the old Customs Officers' Path (French: Sentier des Douaniers) from Perros-Guirec to Ploumanac'h. The granite owes its characteristic color to its hematite and alkali feldspar content.
