Tips from the Community
The church was rebuilt from 1852 to 1868 according to the plans of the builder Yves Hernot on the site of ancient buildings from the 14th and late 16th centuries. Some old elements, such as doors and windows, were reused. The church was consecrated on October 22, 1871, after reconstruction. It contains interesting furniture, including two side altars, a 19th-century pulpit, works by Le Merrer, and especially an exceptional organ. Built in 1653 by the English organ builder Robert Dallam, it was only installed in Lanvellec in 1864, originally coming from the church of Plestin-les-Grèves. Furthermore, the statue of Saint-Efflam still crowns the buffet. It underwent several moves, repairs, and modifications until its total silence in the early thirties. It was saved from dispersion thanks to its classification as a Historic Monument on March 23, 1971. Its restoration in 1985/1986 by an Italian organ builder, restored its full historical truth. It is on this majestic instrument that the Festival de Lanvellec et du Trégor has been relying for 30 years to make ancient music resonate. In flamboyant Gothic style, the ossuary dates from the end of the 15th century and is classified as a Historic Monument. Rectangular in plan, it is made of granite, adorned with seven trefoil arcades and a pointed arch door. In the past, the skulls of the deceased were placed in boxes with their names, ten years after their death. The pardon of Saint-Brandan takes place on the third Sunday of September. 2024: The church is closed for works for several months! Visiting the exteriors is free all year round and the organ visit is only by appointment for groups.

There's some information I didn't have yet. We have time to read – even over a coffee at the Tabac Bar.

Take the parallel road, rather than the national road which is dangerous😁
