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.
