Church of Saint-Sauveur

At the foot of the Menez-Hom, often in the mist, stands the beautiful chapel of Sainte-Marie-du-Menez-Hom. An unmissable heritage jewel! Listed as a Historic Monument since 1916, it was built in 1570 on the ruins of a Romanesque chapel. The parish enclosure consists of a monumental triple gate (1739) and a calvary with three crosses. The chapel has magnificent restored pink altarpieces. It was once a popular place of pilgrimage and fair. Today it is still more than 40,000 visitors who make a stop there every year! The chapel association, which is very active, offers guided tours to groups or individuals passing through.

Built at the beginning of the 16th century following a plague epidemic and completed in the 17th century in place of a pagan place of worship for medicine, as indicated by numerous inscriptions.

Sizun owes its fame to its magnificent parish enclosure, which it owes to the prosperity of the linen industry it enjoyed in the 16th, 17th and early 18th centuries (more than 35 factories were counted there). The parish enclosure of SIZUN, classified as a Historic Monument, is distinguished from other towns by its unique architecture whose ingenuity forces admiration. The Gothic style bell tower is one of the last with spire erected in Brittany, under the reign of Louis XV and bears the dates 1728/1735. It rests on four pillars and has no foundation. Its slender spire, of great finesse, culminates at 56 m. The Arc de Triomphe (1585/1590) is the monument that strikes the attention of all visitors to the parish enclosure. It gave access to the cemetery which, in the past, was located around the church. It is said to be the most beautiful of its kind in Brittany.
