The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Lieu de pélerinage attesté dès le 14e siècle, la construction de l'édifice originel est attribuée au roi Grallon (5e siècle). Remaniée et agrandie au 18e siècle, l'église actuelle a conservé sa façade occidentale et son porche du 16e siècle. En 1669, l'évêque de Quimper autorise la construction de fonts baptismaux dans l'église. En 1699-1700, la sacristie est achevée. Le choeur actuel est reconstruit en 1731-1733, en conservant les fenestrages anciens. En 1740, construction de la nouvelle nef. Sous le Second Empire, l'édifice subit quelques transformations intérieures. Les verrières datent, pour la plupart, du 15e et du début du 16e siècle.

History
A place of pilgrimage attested from the 14th century, the construction of the original building is attributed to King Grallon (5th century). Remodelled and enlarged in the 18th century, the present church has retained its western façade and its porch of the 16th century. In 1669, the Bishop of Quimper authorizes the construction of baptismal fonts in the church. In 1699-1700, the sacristy is completed. The present choir is rebuilt in 1731-1733, preserving the old fenestration. In 1740, construction of the new nave. Under the Second Empire, the building undergoes some internal transformations. The stained-glass windows date, for the most part, from the 15th and early 16th centuries.
