Saint-Alouarn Mill: an old feudal mill with its dormer window featuring a blooming finial.

Ruins of the Saint-Alouarn Manor (16th–17th century). In 1596, the bandit La Fontenelle took over the manor, and supporters of the monarchy set it alight in 1597. The main building was restored in 1656. This date is engraved on the sundial in the tower.
