"The parish church Saint-Méen was built by Alfred-Louis Frangeul between 1876 and 1886 on the parcel of the former mansion Bellevue.

The work was followed by the company of Jean-Marie Huchet. Burned on September 2, 1906, it is restored the following year by Arthur Regnault who remakes the roof.

The tower was built in 1931-1932 by Mr. Brunet (son). The neo-Gothic style of the 13th century is fairly representative of the work of Alfred-Louis Frangeul, whose architectural architectural production was particularly prolific in the north of the department. "

" L'église paroissiale Saint-Méen a été édifiée par Alfred-Louis Frangeul entre 1876 et 1886 sur le fonds parcellaire de l'ancien manoir de Bellevue.

Les travaux ont été suivis par l'entreprise de Jean-Marie Huchet. Incendiée le 2 septembre 1906, elle est restaurée l'année suivante par Arthur Regnault qui refait la toiture.

La tour est édifiée en 1931-1932 par M. Brunet (fils). Le style néogothique du 13e siècle est ici assez représentatif de l'oeuvre d'Alfred-Louis Frangeul, dont la production architecturale religieuse a été particulièrement prolixe dans le nord du département. "
