Built in 1865 by the Countess of Cossé-Brissac, this chapel was built in homage to Saint Anne, in accordance with the promise made at the birth of her daughter. It is distinguished by its door surmounted by a rosette-shaped stained-glass window and a steeple with a granite balcony. Modest in size, the chapel was initially reserved exclusively for the service of the lords of the manor.

On weekends, the Lakeside Langoëlan bar is worth a detour—or rather, the approach to Langoëlan is even nicer than by road. It has a different name on Maps.

Labeled "Commune du patrimoine rural de Bretagne", this commune is endowed with an important architectural and historical heritage of great value such as churches, chapels, fountains, castles and manors and remarkable villages in the town as well as in the Ploërdutaise countryside. In the town, there is the church dedicated to Saint Idult in the 11th century and subsequently dedicated to Saint Pierre in the 15th century. It is one of the rare examples of Romanesque art in Brittany. From the outside, the church in the shape of a Latin cross displays a length that seems disproportionate to the squat silhouette of the bell tower pierced on each side by small loophole windows. Inside the south porch, near the ossuary, sandpits are carved with crocodile heads. Ask for the keys at the Town Hall to enter.

Whether it was a minaret - I can't say - it looks like it hasn't been inhabited for a while. In any case, it's an unusual building.

actually a planning error - but then the overnight stay was already booked and so we had to turn off the canal, here in Guémené-sur Score to the Chambres-Aux-Sabots-Rouges. A beautiful hotel and great restaurant! 5 stars from me in advance! In addition, everything was perfect here: the operators and the service of the hotel and restaurant - very nice (really nice) we were able to store and charge the bikes in the back yard a tabac bar right across the street a good boulangerie down in the village (good is not a given) and the place is simply a feast for the eyes! the rooms are just great, modern but a good style with the natural stone walls. In conclusion: the Chambres-Aux-Sabots-Rouges is really recommended - it was an absolute hit for us!!!

Saint Anna is the mother of the Blessed Mother Mary, who is not attested in the biblical texts, i.e. the grandmother of Jesus Christ. However, it is mentioned in apocryphal (i.e. not included in the canon of the Bible) writings, for example in the so-called “Protoevangelium of James”. There is no historically reliable information about Anna's life, but there are numerous traditional stories, which are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patroness of the St. Anna Church in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany), where a piece of her skull has been kept as a relic since the beginning of the 16th century. In the church calendar, Saint Anna's memorial day - together with her husband Joachim - is on July 26th.

In addition to the Quelven chapel located in the town, the village of Guern has two other strong points: the very beautiful manor of Menorval and the proximity to the Sarre river. This very pretty watercourse tributary to the Blavet is still well preserved.

Melrand is located in the Blavet valley, surrounded by the eponymous river and rivers such as the Sarre and the Scorff. To see in Melrand: the wells, the 18th century bread ovens, the old buildings, the houses of character, the mills, the seven chapels, three of which are classified as buildings of France, and the 17th century church.
