A flamboyant Gothic church, Notre-Dame du Folgoët is a major building of 15th century Breton architecture whose fame extends well beyond Léon. This monument, witness to the history of an entire country and its inhabitants, has seen great names pass through its walls (Anne of Brittany, François 1st, etc.). A spiritual center, particularly at the time of his famous pardon, this basilica also has undeniable architectural, cultural and even political and economic importance. Its popularity also owes a lot to the many mysteries that surround it and which make this religious building a unifying heritage of the Coast of Legends.

On one of the main squares of Lesneven, where the halls were located until 1893, the Saint-Michel church, consecrated in 1763, with its voluminous nave and slender bell tower with a zinc dome, rebuilt in 2003, dominates the old center several times by lightning (1836 ; 1864) and the bombing raids of 1944.
