At the end of the Fontaines de Kertugal manor house once stood a chapel dedicated to Saint-Roch, invoked to ward off plague epidemics. Sold during the French Revolution, it was destroyed in 1801.
In 1828, the manor’s owner had a chapel built on the village hillside, Notre Dame de la Garde, to “protect sailors on the waves”.
From this promontory, a panoramic view allowed the 7 bell towers of the 5 surrounding parishes to be counted.
This original rotunda-shaped structure, with its metre-thick walls of local granite, was restored in 2005.
