The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice de la fin du 15e siècle avec un clocher à tourelle d'escalier caractéristique de ceux élevés en Cornouaille à la même époque. La porte latérale, dans le mur méridional de la nef, porte la date de 1775 mais a été traité dans le goût de l'architecture de la fin du 15e siècle. La sacristie, ajoutée ou reconstruite en 1695, s'orne de têtes d'angelots qui amortissent les angles de la corniche.

Building from the end of the 15th century with a bell tower with staircase turret characteristic of those raised in Cornouaille at the same period. The lateral door, in the southern wall of the nave, bears the date 1775 but has been treated in the style of the architecture of the end of the 15th century. The sacristy, added or rebuilt in 1695, is adorned with cherub heads which terminate the angles of the cornice.
