Saint Winoc Church
Placed on the extreme point of the Plouhinec district, the
church of Saint Winoc dates back to the middle of the 16th
century and was founded on the site of an even older
monument.
Built in the form of a Latin cross, the church is dominated
by a galleried tower from which a spire shoots up to a
height of 40 metres. Under the south gallery are carvings of
cattle and a fish, whilst to the west you can see a small,
chine-hulled boat carrying three rowing crewmen. These
sculptures would have spoken volumes about the dual economy
of this parish: living off the land and living off the sea.
