History

Undoubtedly a former chapel of the lords of Minven, the building resulted from substantial reworking in the early 15th century, and comprises a sanctuary from the late 13th or early 14th century, itself undoubtedly built on the foundations of a Romanesque building. From the second construction date the south porch pierced with a pointed arch door, as well as two pointed arch arcades opening onto the choir to the south. These rest on two clustered columns which relate the construction to the architectural style known as the Pont-Croix school. In 1848, a major restoration campaign was undertaken. The lower part of the nave was rebuilt and the windows of the aisles redone. In the years 1896-1898, the great opening of the chevet was reassembled probably identically, but the tracery was modified. The 15th-century calvary, originally undoubtedly placed in the cemetery, was moved outside the enclosure.
