Built in 1865 by the Countess of Cossé-Brissac, this chapel was built in homage to Saint Anne, in accordance with the promise made at the birth of her daughter. It is distinguished by its door surmounted by a rosette-shaped stained-glass window and a steeple with a granite balcony. Modest in size, the chapel was initially reserved exclusively for the service of the lords of the manor.

Founded in 1136, only the 13th-century chapter house remains. Occupied in 1806 by a stud farm, it was reoccupied by the Spiritans in 1858. Today, it is a rest and retirement home with a rich history. Visitors can visit the chapter house, the cloister, the typical Cistercian bell tower, and a museum of African art. A magnificent garden and the forest surroundings are very pleasant and accessible. Open every day except Tuesday, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Listed as a historic monument in 1980, the current church is said to have replaced a Benedictine monastery founded in the 5th century by the monks of Landévennec. Of the original 12th-century building, only the eastern part of the nave remains, with its small pillars topped with Romanesque capitals. The Gothic exterior and the partly Romanesque interior are the richness of this church, another original feature of which lies in its capitals decorated with Celtic-inspired motifs.

Saint-Beheau Church: Listed as a historic monument, the original building dates back to the 12th century but has undergone numerous alterations since. It still boasts 28 remarkable unique capitals. Auditoire de Justice (Courthouse known as the Montlouis House): This architecturally remarkable house is located in the center of the village of Priziac, not far from the church. Wrongly referred to as the parish presbytery due to the carved chalice on its gable, the building is actually a former seigniorial courthouse.

Saint Anna is the mother of the Blessed Mother Mary, who is not attested in the biblical texts, i.e. the grandmother of Jesus Christ. However, it is mentioned in apocryphal (i.e. not included in the canon of the Bible) writings, for example in the so-called “Protoevangelium of James”. There is no historically reliable information about Anna's life, but there are numerous traditional stories, which are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patroness of the St. Anna Church in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany), where a piece of her skull has been kept as a relic since the beginning of the 16th century. In the church calendar, Saint Anna's memorial day - together with her husband Joachim - is on July 26th.

North of the village of Le Faouët, on a ridge, stands the late Gothic Chapel of Sainte-Barbe, built between 1489 and 1512. A remarkable Renaissance staircase leads down to the chapel, which is located just below the summit plateau. - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Faou%C3%ABt_(Morbihan)#Kapelle_Sainte-Barbe - https://www.france-voyage.com/frankreich-stadte/le-faouet-20502/kapelle-sainte-barbe-15016.htm
