Notre-Dame-de-Paradis Basilica

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.

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).

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.
