history
The parish church, consecrated to the Breton Saint Tudy , dates back to the 6th century , but the current building was essentially built in the 15th century . A reference to an older predecessor building is above all a baptismal font from the Norman era. The core of the church is possibly a single-aisle structure, which was expanded to include transepts around 1400. The tower, the south aisle and the north Lady Chapel (Marienkapelle) were built in the 15th century. Marienkapelle, choir and aisle show a common straight end in the east. The nave has four bays, the choir two. The Lady Chapel covers the last three bays. The southern porch was added a little later. A fundamental renovation took place in 1873/74.
