Church of St. Peter and St. Paul

Position yourself on the square, facing the bell tower. The exact date of the construction of the church is still unknown. Some say it was built in the 1754th century while others think it was built in the 1930th century. It is one of the rare churches in South Finistère to be built during the Romanesque period. It is an artistic style dating approximately from the end of the XNUMXth century. The decoration is influenced by ancient art, oriental art and Celtic traditions. The church in front of you has undergone numerous restorations following a destructive storm and then a fire in XNUMX. It has been classified as a Historic Monument since XNUMX. Inside, the capitals, which overlook the
columns, some interpret the numerous crossettes (decorative projections made at the corner of a frame) as the representation of large ferns (sacred plant species of the Druids). Legend has it that the Druids lived in the Glénan Islands.

In front of you, you can admire the organ built by Pierre Saby. The sound transmission is only mechanical and its wood is chestnut.

Outside, on the Calvary side, we find the commune's war memorial which was inaugurated in 1922. It is a plaque affixed to the wall of the building. It is one of 5 monuments in Finistère to be considered pacifist. It was created by René Quillivic, a Breton sculptor from Plouhinec who is very renowned in Brittany for having created several post-war memorials. He took as a model a resident of Fouesnant mourning her 3 children who died in the fighting of the First World War as well as another of her sons and her son-in-law murdered in the gas chambers.

Behind you, you can see the calvary which was built in 1661. It is made of granite and kersantite (magmatic rock very present in Brittany).
