The Chapel of Sainte-Hélène was rebuilt in 1755 in the neoclassical style, reusing older stones from the original construction around 1480. It is faced with ashlar, granite, and mica schist from the Port Rhu quarry, has an unusual north-south floor plan, and features a significant elevation difference.

The church is open to visitors and should not be missed.

Hiking
This old parish church was built in several stages from 1480 onwards, depending on the offerings and fishing revenues, and was rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries. The bell tower was inaugurated in 1642. As it had become too cramped due to the increase in population and the development of the lake district, the current building was completely rebuilt in the neoclassical style from 1755 onwards.
