The Kerhornou-Porsmoguer bay was defended by a fort and a battery. These were used to prevent a possible landing on the beach, a strategic point previously defended by a fort of which the remains of a tower remain. The change in the bed of the stream separating them meant that the building passed from the commune of Ploumoguer to that of Plouarzel. The fort has now been transformed into a dwelling.

Not far from the ocean and nestled in the valley, this chapel is well worth a stop. Completely isolated, this pretty little chapel owes its existence, according to legend, to a shipwreck that took place opposite it in the 11th century. Sailors from an English or Irish ship miraculously managed to reach the nearby cove despite the storm, while their ship was sinking. The captain then vowed to build a chapel to Saint Méen on the coast, and from then on he lived in a nearby farmhouse. As always, there is no historical record to support this legend. But it is nevertheless plausible. The chapel features life-size statues of Saint-Méen, the Virgin Mary and Sainte-Barbe. The water from the nearby fountain is said to cure scabies and skin diseases.

Built in 1846, the church has preserved its original decorations, including the Stations of the Cross, the pulpit, the communion table and banners. A remarkable baldachin crowns the high altar.
