Lanleff temple

The circular temple features two concentric enclosures constructed with pink sandstone, dark volcanic stones, and gray-beige granite blocks standing on meter-wide foundation walls.

Dating from the High Middle Ages, this religious structure contains twelve primitive Romanesque arches supported by square pillars measuring 90 centimeters on each side.

The temple displays over 140 decorative elements, including geometric patterns, human figures, land animals, and birds carved into the capitals and column bases.

The monument remains open throughout the year, allowing visitors to examine both the interior rotunda and exterior walls of this historical structure.

A distinctive carved figure known as 'modest Adam' appears on one of the northern arcade capitals, contributing to the temple's architectural significance.
