At the foot of the Menez-Hom, often in the mist, stands the beautiful chapel of Sainte-Marie-du-Menez-Hom. An unmissable heritage jewel! Listed as a Historic Monument since 1916, it was built in 1570 on the ruins of a Romanesque chapel. The parish enclosure consists of a monumental triple gate (1739) and a calvary with three crosses. The chapel has magnificent restored pink altarpieces. It was once a popular place of pilgrimage and fair. Today it is still more than 40,000 visitors who make a stop there every year! The chapel association, which is very active, offers guided tours to groups or individuals passing through.
