Church of Saint-Gildas

The Church of Saint-Thuriau is located in Plumergat, Brittany, on a former site of prayer and druidic sacrifice. Built in the Romanesque style (eleventh century), it was relatively unchanged until 1948, when many changes were made, without altering too much the general structure of the building. Above the gate stands a fourteenth century bell tower, broken by a small outfacing bay. There is a polychrome wooden altarpiece and Romanesque capitals from the twelfth century (listed Historical Monuments).

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.

The church of Saint Cornély de Carnac has a reliquary bust of the saint in gilded wood so heavy, it seems, that it takes 4 people to lift it. The church is one of the most beautiful examples of the Renaissance style in Morbihan (17th century). One can appreciate its side porch (1792) surmounted by a granite baldachin, apparently carved from a local menhir. In the shape of a royal crown, it is the work of a stonemason from Baud named Kergoustin.
