"La tour a environ 40 mètres de haut et permet de découvrir un vaste panorama. Point de mire de toute la région, le clocher, au temps de la Ligue, attira le rassemblement des patriotes bretons de Haute Cornouaille, pour aller lutter aux frontières de la Bretagne contre les ennemis de la patrie. Le " Barzaz Breiz " dans le chant de départ des Ligueurs cornouaillais pour le siège de Craon (1592), en a conservé le souvenir." Le clocher comporte 4 cloches gravées et datées de 1826, 1846 et 1856. Source : (visit link)
Des visites guidées de l'enclos, de l'église et du clocher, sont organisées par La Maison des Landes et des Tourbières. On peut monter tout en haut et voir les cloches et la vue panoramique ! (visit link)

The focal point of the whole region, the bell tower, at the time of the League, attracted the gathering of Breton patriots from Haute Cornouaille, to fight at the borders of Brittany against the enemies of the fatherland. The "Barzaz Breiz" in the song of departure of the Cornish Leaguers for the siege of Craon (1592), has kept the memory of it. " The bell tower has 4 bells engraved and dated 1826, 1846 and 1856.
