Église Saint-Envel de Loc-Envel

The church features a bell-wall tower with gargoyles, three-bay nave, transept, and a three-sided apse decorated with sculptural elements throughout the structure.

Originally established in 1163 under Benedictine management from Saint-Jacut Abbey, the current Gothic structure dates from the 16th century with modifications in later periods.

The church interior contains a 16th-century wooden rood screen combining Gothic, Louis XII, and Italian Renaissance styles with detailed bird and candelabra carvings.

Local tourist centers provide information about the church's architecture, while the building continues to serve regular parish functions for Bégard-Belle-Isle-en-Terre.

The church houses a mechanical clock from 1777, created by a local blacksmith, which requires manual weight winding operations twice each day.
