Historique
Edifice de plan rectangulaire, du début du 16e siècle, complété par un bras de transept au sud. Le clocher à flèche, posé sur le pignon de la façade, est un bel exemple du type ajouré cornouaillais. Des fragments de vitraux de l'Annonciation et de la Passion se trouvent dans la fenêtre flamboyante du chevet. La chapelle, appareillée de granit blanc, est couverte d'une charpente apparente.
