It was after successive embankments of the cemetery, then during the construction of "The High Church" in the twelfth century, that this church was transformed into a "Crypt".

The church of Saint-Symphorien was built in the fifteenth century in Cherreau, in the Pays de la Loire. The building has a western Gothic facade pierced with a portal decorated with sculptures. The nave (fifteenth century) is extended by a choir (eighteenth century) almost as long as it.

The Church of Saint-Thuriau is located in Plumergat, Brittany, on a former site of prayer and druidic sacrifice.

Above the gate stands a fourteenth century bell tower, broken by a small outfacing bay. There is a polychrome wooden altarpiece and Romanesque capitals from the twelfth century (listed Historical Monuments).

The Saint-Tudy church is a Romanesque church located in Loctudy, port of the Pays Bigouden, in the south of the Finistère department in Brittany.

It is one of the rare Romanesque churches in Brittany to have come down to us with, among others, the church of Locmaria in Quimper, the abbey church of Sainte-Croix in Quimperlé and the church of Saint-Pierre de Fouesnant. Its restoration - in two stages during the 19th century - was followed by Prosper Mérimée and Jean-Baptiste Lassus, and carried out by Joseph Bigot and Paul Gout, which may indicate a certain architectural importance of the building.

The church of Saint-Urh dates from the end of the 14th or the beginning of the 15th century. It was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1743.
