On each side of the Elorn, a church was built. This river was the natural boundary between the two former counties, Léon and Cornwall, who had their own diocese. The right bank of Leo, the church of Saint-Houardon, was completely moved to the th century. Closer to the river initially, she could no longer welcome all parishioners. Reconstruction and expansion work lasted 3 years, from 1848 to 1861. The porch has a finely worked porch and a walk with a turret with stairs. On the left Bank of Cornwall, St. Thomas Church was also rebuilt in the th century under the direction of architect Bigot. Inside, the sand are beautiful invoices and a variety of reasons are distinguished. Closer to the altar, an old wooden statue of the Virgin in an extended position is interesting because of its original representation.

L'église Saint Houardon, côté Léon est assez imposante. Au 1er abord elle n’apparaît pas très belle mais lorsque l'on regarde de plus près son extérieur on peut découvrir de nombreuses gargouilles représentant des animaux de formes et de poses différentes à l'effigie d'un chien, d'un oiseau, d'un singe ou d'une forme mi animale mi humaine.
Beau chemin de croix à l'intérieur.
Celle de Saint Thomas, côté Cornouilles est plus petite avec une belle façade renaissance.

Voici les deux églises principales de la ville. Saint-Houardon est plus imposante, mais à mon goût, Saint-Thomas est mieux "agencée" avec sa petite place toute pavée en face!
