The Église Saint-Edern has three naves, a transept, a flat-ended chancel with three gables, and a balustraded tower crowned by an openwork spire typical of Léon. Its main construction phases date from the 16th to the 18th century. After a severe fire caused by a thunderstorm during the night of 23 to 24 May 1974, the church was restored and reopened for worship in January 1978.

The Bois des tranchées preserves almost 300 metres of surviving trenches from the early 20th century across a 9,000 m² site. A visit makes it possible to understand what war looked like at the beginning of the 20th century.

The Moulins à papier des Justices paper mill was founded in 1802 on the Justiçou stream. Only a few traces of it remain; the most significant is the drained mill leat.
