Saint-Sauveur Church of Le Faou
Highlight • Religious Site
The church was founded by the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of St. John. The building was rebuilt in 1544 and 1680, with a beautiful domed Renaissance-style bell tower and overlooking the harbor. Its short nave contrasts with a large double transept. The church tower, very high, dates from 1629, the porch bears the dates 1593 and 1613 and has preserved the wooden statues of the twelve apostles, the apse (in Beaumanoir style) dates from 1680. The high altar and the two confessionals date from the 17th century, as well as the baptismal font: the baptismal font with snakes is unique in Brittany for the richness of its sculptures. Numerous statues decorate the church, including those of Notre-Dame de Pitié, two virgin mothers, Saint Herbot, Saint Yves, Saint Éloi, Saint Barbe, etc.
