Historique
Edifice construit à la fin du 15e ou au début du 16e siècle, en granit. De plan rectangulaire, renforcé aux angles de contreforts à larmiers, terminé par un chevet plat, et pourvu d'un clocheton central en charpente. La nef est éclairée par un petit oculus au réseau composé de mouchettes rayonnantes. Le second oculus, au sud-est, témoigne de la pose à la fin du 17e siècle d'un retable dans le choeur et de l'obturation de la baie axiale. La nef unique est séparée du sanctuaire par un jubé en bois ajouré, orné de panneaux peints représentant les apôtres et la messe de saint Grégoire. A la fin du 16e siècle, la vie de saint Fiacre est peinte sur le mur nord du choeur.

History
Edifice built at the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century, in granite. Of rectangular plan, reinforced at the angles with buttresses with drip-stones, terminated by a flat chevet, and provided with a central roof belfry. The nave is lit by a small oculus with a net composed of radiating sprockets. The second oculus, to the south-east, testifies to the placing at the end of the 17th century of a reredos in the choir and the blocking of the axial opening. The single nave is separated from the sanctuary by a wooden pierced rood screen, decorated with panels painted representing the apostles and the mass of saint Gregory. At the end of the 16th century, the life of saint Fiacre is painted on the north wall of the choir.
