Notre-Dame du Kreisker Chapel

Highlight • Historical Site

The chapel is renowned for its beautiful bell tower** It was modeled on the tower of the Eglise St-Pierre in Caen, the granite version from Brittany even surpassing the model. Even Vauban was delighted with this "marvel of poise and audacity". The upper part with the spire is in Norman style, the lower part with the diamond pattern of the window crosses and the overhanging balcony reflects the influence of the so-called perpendicular style, late English Gothic.
The interior is largely closed off by a wooden barrel vault. The only stone vault connects the four huge piers in the crossing that support the tower.
The tower can be climbed (169 steps). From the platform, a beautiful view of the city, the île de Batz, the coast and the Monts d'Arrée unfolds.

Menhir of Poulfouën

Highlight • Other

This menhir located by the sea is 2 m high.
The Poulfoën menhir is not a real menhir in the historical and architectural sense of the term. "
In many places, the coast is subject to the erosive effects of storms.
Le Clic, a beach and boat harbor in the summer, offers the most striking image of the work carried out to protect it: a cyclopean structure of granite blocks prevents it from retreating.
The long stone that was erected at this location was put in place with the riprap.
It’s a “young menhir” as a friendly joker would say.”
