What stands there
1 fountain, statuette of the saint in her niche
Devotional fountain bearing the date 1746, originally near a wash-house to the north of the village, moved in the 1960s against the wall of the presbytery. In 1968, a statuette of Saint Mary Magdalene still occupied the niche at the back — a typical example of the Breton devotional fountains dedicated to a saint who protects the water.
