The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'entrée monumentale menant à l'église paroissiale comprend une grande porte charretière et une porte piétonne, toutes deux voûtées en plein-cintre. Les deux portes sont jumelées sous un fronton brisé, flanqué et amorti d'acrotères. Elles sont, en outre, flanquées de pilastres engagés et ornés de chapiteaux à volutes qui supportent l'entablement. Au tympan du fronton s'inscrit un disque solaire. Cette porte provient de l'ancien manoir de Kerangoaguet.

The monumental entrance leading to the parish church comprises a large carriage door and a pedestrian door, both vaulted with a round arch. The two doors are paired under a broken pediment, flanked and finished with acroteria. They are, moreover, flanked by engaged pilasters and ornamented with capitals with volutes which support the entablature. In the tympanum of the pediment is inscribed a solar disk. This door comes from the old manor of Kerangoaguet.
