The architecture of the church is rather sober, but it is rich with altarpieces, altars, statues, stained glass windows, paintings, etc. It contains, among other things, a carved baptistery made of oak from 1675, a pulpit from 1677 and an organ built in 1670 by Jacques Mascard, organ builders at Landerneau, but was rebuilt several times between 1681 and 1683, notably by Thomas Dallam. then remodeled in 1789 by Florentin Grimont and in 1863 by Heyer.

For a change from the churchyards of the past few days, feel free to visit the interior of this magnificent church and spend more time inside rather than outside on this tour. The pulpit of the church as well as the organ are absolutely beautiful and their gilding and statuary decorations will inevitably catch your eye. A nice surprise that we discover as soon as we cross the doors of the religious building.

Guimilau too, like its neighbor Lampaul-Guimilau owes part of its architectural richness to the practice of tanning, but also to horse breeding and beekeeping. Today it is still the agricultural world that sustains the small town, but also tourism, as its town center is so picturesque and representative of a certain Brittany. It's a bit postcard-perfect, but architecture enthusiasts will appreciate it.

This path runs along the stream of L'an-Doux-Kamm, and after a passage under the forest, leads to a place called Giler-Ar-Gal and its pretty Saint-Anne Chapel. This chapel, which did not suffer the ravages and destruction of the French revolution, has kept its original furniture intact. It deserves a visit.

The Calvary probably goes back to menhir crosses and is a Breton peculiarity. He offers a Bible study in the form of many small statues. In St.-Thégonnec the figures wear 17th century clothing.

One of the most impressive and extraordinary ensembles in Brittany can be admired in Guimiliau. Even those who do not know what to do with churches as an excursion destination will recognize the artistry and expressiveness of the objects inside and outside the "Enclos paroissial". The “enclosed parish”, as the translation for this Breton peculiarity, is home to widely famous architectural features and sacred sculptures in a very small space.
