Church of Saint-Cornély

The Saint-Colomban chapel is located in the hamlet of the same name, in Carnac . The chapel of st Colomban was built or started at the end of the 16th century, perhaps by the will of René de Larlan, rector of Carnac from 1585 to 1600, from a large seigniorial family of Erdeven (Kercadio) and Ploëmel (Coetquintin). This building is in flamboyant gothic style. An octagonal turret, with a spiral staircase, gives access to a short conical-shaped bell tower, erected on a cornice platform. This bell tower is pierced with bays and flanked by 4 small pinnacles.

The church of St Gildas owes its name to a 12th century priory which depends on the Benedictine abbey on the Rhuys peninsula. It was designed on the site of the former priory by the architect Gilles Monsay who combines medieval forms and baroque style. Work began in 1623 but was not completed until 1663. The bell tower of the three-storey square tower, however, was not completed until 1701. It dominates the whole town and will serve as a model for the region.

Built in the 15th century on a place rich in remains from the Neolithic era, Roman and feudal, the chapel Notre Dame de Penmern stands near the Gulf of Morbihan. The Romanesque chapel was enlarged in the eighteenth and 19th century. Its simple architecture highlights its decorative elements, some of which are classified: a blue vault adorned with stars and 2 models of ships.
