A pretty iron bridge, built for farmers at the time. Here the path along the water was in a bad state in April 2026 (a warning was installed on one side of the section, but a detour through the forest is possible).

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.

Completed in the 16th century in the Gothic style, the church features Romanesque vaults, testifying to an older building. Outside, opening onto the porch, the 16th-century ossuary is distinguished by its three elegant basket-handle arches, resting on charming molded columns. Upon entering the church, one immediately sees the blue vault, a symbol of the sky in Romanesque art. The decoration continues with the polychrome wooden sablières, displaying scenes of hunting and everyday life.

Labeled "Commune du patrimoine rural de Bretagne", this commune is endowed with an important architectural and historical heritage of great value such as churches, chapels, fountains, castles and manors and remarkable villages in the town as well as in the Ploërdutaise countryside. In the town, there is the church dedicated to Saint Idult in the 11th century and subsequently dedicated to Saint Pierre in the 15th century. It is one of the rare examples of Romanesque art in Brittany. From the outside, the church in the shape of a Latin cross displays a length that seems disproportionate to the squat silhouette of the bell tower pierced on each side by small loophole windows. Inside the south porch, near the ossuary, sandpits are carved with crocodile heads. Ask for the keys at the Town Hall to enter.

It is an elegant 19th-century building. Its name, derived from the Breton traon-joliff (“beautiful valley”), evokes the charm of the place built on the ruins of an old manor. The castle is built within a magnificent park that is the site of numerous cultural events, including the famous crêpe festival, which takes place every year on the last weekend of July.

Built in 1500 in the Renaissance style, it was erected on the exact site of another smaller church, of which the four large central pillars and the section containing the central ogival door have been preserved. The Flamboyant Gothic bell tower is accentuated by the mullioned windows and the two animals that stand on either side of the large porch. The church was listed as a historic monument in 1925.
