Built in 1865 by the Countess of Cossé-Brissac, this chapel was built in homage to Saint Anne, in accordance with the promise made at the birth of her daughter. It is distinguished by its door surmounted by a rosette-shaped stained-glass window and a steeple with a granite balcony. Modest in size, the chapel was initially reserved exclusively for the service of the lords of the manor.

Bat House: A unique museum in France entirely dedicated to the ladies of the night. You'll discover everything about their lifestyle and preconceived notions through a modern, playful, and accessible exhibition design. You'll observe the Greater Horseshoe Bat live on the church roof. In summer, don't miss "Bat Nights," a magical experience offered by the museum by reservation. Our Lady of Kernascléden Church: The parish church, which was once a simple chapel, was built between 1420 and 1464. It is one of the finest examples of Flamboyant Gothic art in Brittany, recognizable by its slender lines, sculpted decorations, and rich architecture. It is a veritable lacework of stone carved from granite. You'll also see the Danse Macabre there. A terrifying masterpiece depicting the triumph of death. As you enter the village, just 200 m on your left, you will find the Notre-Dame fountain.

Its origins lie in a feudal mound built around 1050 by a lord named Guégant. Established as a principality in 1570, the commune preserves a rich historical heritage, such as the Queen's Baths (currently the Tourist Office), medieval walls, the guard tower, the gatehouse of the Rohan castle, the Limbour house and numerous half-timbered houses. In the village, there is also the Notre-Dame de la Fosse church which dates from the 19th century. The current church replaces an older building which once served as a collegiate church. Capital of the Pays Pourlet and labeled "Small town of character", Guémené is also known throughout France for its famous andouille, celebrated every year during the big festival which takes place on the 4th Sunday of August. It is renowned for the artisanal production of authentic “andouille de Guémené”, recognizable by its concentric appearance when cut.

Saint Anna is the mother of the Blessed Mother Mary, who is not attested in the biblical texts, i.e. the grandmother of Jesus Christ. However, it is mentioned in apocryphal (i.e. not included in the canon of the Bible) writings, for example in the so-called “Protoevangelium of James”. There is no historically reliable information about Anna's life, but there are numerous traditional stories, which are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patroness of the St. Anna Church in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany), where a piece of her skull has been kept as a relic since the beginning of the 16th century. In the church calendar, Saint Anna's memorial day - together with her husband Joachim - is on July 26th.
