Saint-Guénolé, rue Jeanne d'Arc, 29760 Penmarch
The parish church of Saint-Guénolé was built in 1954. The rector, Francis Ricou, and the vicar, Henri Cuillandre, undertook its construction, based on plans by the Quimper architect Lachaud (1935-2012). The church is rectangular, with an exposed roof frame. The stained glass windows were designed by Auguste Labouret, a master glassmaker and mosaicist (1871-1964).

This is the most recent religious building in the commune. The mixture of old and new stones is explained by the reuse of stones from manor houses, including Kéréon in Penmarc'h. The two fonts at the entrance were also salvaged. There is a magnificent polychrome wooden statue of Saint Guénolé dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. He is holding a crozier in his right hand and an open book in his left.
