The mill of Saint-Alouarn belonged for a long time to the manor of the same name. The mill was built in the last quarter of the 16th century as a single-story building made of dressed stones. The mill was powered by an upstream reservoir, which was channeled to drive the wheel.

An imposing building in such a small community piqued my interest. From Wikipedia: The Roman Catholic parish church of Saint-Fiacre in Guengat, a municipality in the Finistère department of the French region of Brittany, was built in the first half of the 15th century and expanded around 1500. It is dedicated to Saint Fiacre, a hermit from Ireland who came to France in the 7th century and settled in the Brie region, near Meaux. The church contains 16th-century stained-glass windows. In 1914, the church, including its Calvary, was listed as a historical monument (Base Mérimée) in France.

The Church of Saint-Ronan and the adjoining Pénity Chapel are among the most beautiful buildings of Flamboyant Late Gothic style in Brittany. The building stands on the picturesque village square of Locronan, near the Baie de Douarnenez in the Finistère department of Brittany. The Church (Église) of Saint-Ronan was built between 1430 and 1480. The square church tower, over 30 meters high, was built in 1475 on four pillars. The tower had a tall octagonal spire, which was struck by lightning in 1808. Today, the church tower terrace is covered with a roof resting on the octagonal base of the spire.
