The church of Saint-Martin was founded in the 12th century in the Romanesque style. Partially destroyed by a fire in 1715, reconstruction in the second half of the 18th century gave it its present external appearance, based on the late Baroque colour scheme.

Former Chapel of the Benedictine priory dependent on the Abbey of Saint-Géraud d'Aurillac, the church of Saint-Martin is a Gothic building from the 15th century. The imposing dimensions of the nave show the importance of Marcolès at the end of the Middle Ages.

A Merovingian funerary basilica was built on this site around the 6th and 7th centuries and renovated in the Carolingian period. The Royal Priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs, Cluny's third daughter, was founded in 1060 and a new building was built on this presumed site of a miracle by Saint Martin. The original plan of the choir probably inspired that of the Basilica of Saint-Denis built a few years later, the church of the Conservatory would constitute the oldest testimony of Parisian Gothic. The abbey was declared a national property in 1790 and since 1798 has housed the new Conservatory of Arts and Crafts created by Abbot Gregory in 1794, whose former abbey church, abandoned for worship, serves as an exhibition room for its museum. The complex was largely refurbished under the July Monarchy and the Second Empire, under the direction of the architect Léon Vaudoyer. The Foucault pendulum has been installed in the choir.

Built outside the fortifications of the castle and those of the upper town, it bears witness to a composite ensemble of multiple constructions, fires and restorations.

It is on the territory of Plougonvelin that stand the remains of the abbey of Saint-Matthieu or Saint-Mathieu (Loc Mazé Pen-ar-Bed or Fin ar Bed) established, according to tradition, in the 6th century by Saint Tanguy, in atonement for the murder of his sister Saint Eode or Haude.

The church of Saint-Médard de Saint-Mard, built between 1862 and 1867, is a neo-Romanesque building with three naves. Inside the church, the two 17th century side altars are particularly noteworthy.

A jewel of Romanesque art, the Church of Saint-Menoux has a 10th century narthex, the oldest part of the building. The Burgundian novel is at its peak in the choir of the building. Fluted pilaster and Corinthian capitals are omnipresent. It is somewhat reminiscent of the great Abbey of Cluny. The staggering of the chevet roofs is similar to the major Romanesque churches in Auvergne (Saint-Nectaire, Orcival, etc.).

The Saint-Michel Chapel was built in 1499, as evidenced by an engraved wooden panel. Several times rebuilt and renovated, it almost disappeared in the 1960s. Thanks to the intervention of the Service des Monuments Historiques du canton du Valais, it was finally saved. The building in its present state, in Baroque style, dates from the 18th century. The interior decoration is the work of the painter Charles Frédéric Brun, better known in the region as Le Déserteur. The latter arrived in Nendaz around 1840.

On the site of Saint Michel d'Aiguilhe, a chapel in pre-Romanesque style had been built since the 10th century. Abandoned after the French Revolution, the building owes its existence to Prosper Merimée who added it to the list of cultural properties in 1840.

The absence of archival sources does not allow us to give details concerning the time of construction of the church and the chronology of the works. It is believed to date from the 12th century (around 1146). In the 19th century, the nave's grandstands were added to the Romanesque building. In 1854, the architect Mallay added the two uneven towers of the western massif covered with hollow tiles. Between 1875 and 1877, the architect Louis-Clementin Bruyère undertook the general restoration of the building, placing the antefixes in the shape of a Greek cross or interlacing on the chapels and gables. In 1877, the church's roof was completely redone in Volvic stone. In the same year, the bell tower was rebuilt. The architect was inspired by the bell tower of Saint-Saturnin.
