It was during the first half of the 16th century that the construction of the chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Good News, patron saint of travellers and sailors, began. Originally, it was shaped like a barn because it had no bell tower and the floor was only clay. Over the years, the building fell into ruins. It was in 1841 that a text mentioned the need to rebuild a church. The chapel was demolished and in 1843, on June 15 of the Feast of God, the first stone of the new Damgan church was blessed.

Located in the immediate vicinity of the chapel, the Notre-Dame fountain is built of stone and surmounted by a star and a heart. The fountain also houses a statue of the Virgin Mary. Listed as a Historic Monument since 1933, you can access its pool by going down a few steps. Until the Second World War, the Notre-Dame Fountain provided the inhabitants of the district with drinking water and was also used to water livestock.

A ceramic plaque created to commemorate the sardine activity of Larmor-Plage, the Pointe des jagueurs was the meeting place for many people throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Today, there is a mooring place for passing sardine boats, allowing the drying of nets.

Much of the rich heritage of Guéméné-Sur-Scorff comes from the Rohan family, one of the oldest nobilities in Brittany. This is how we can discover, in a renovated old car garage, a medieval oven built in the 14th century by Jean I of Rohan for his wife Jeanne of Navarre. It is one of the three medieval ovens that can be discovered in France!
