The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le transept est remarquable par son ampleur et l'élégance du croisillon méridional, éclairé par une fenêtre flamboyante. La tour, imitée de celle de Pont-Croix, porte, à l'appui de la balustrade supérieure, la date de 1582, mais elle dut être commencée vers 1530-1540, date qu'il faut assigner à la façade sur laquelle elle repose, ainsi qu'au transept. Elle est entièrement dans la tradition gothique. A l'intérieur du transept subsistent des fragments de sablières anciennes. Le reste de l'édifice a été reconstruit aux 18e et 19e siècles.

The transept is remarkable for its scale and the elegance of the south arm, lit by a flamboyant window. The tower, imitated from that of Pont-Croix, bears, at the level of the upper balustrade support, the date of 1582, but it must have been begun around 1530-1540, the date which must be assigned to the façade on which it stands, as well as to the transept. It is entirely within the Gothic tradition. Inside the transept there remain fragments of old roof plates. The rest of the building was rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries.
