On the right banks of the river Leff there is a building known locally as "le temple de Lanleff" which has been identified by some as a baptistery. Corblet mentions M/[onsieur]. Legonidec, who identified it as a church dedicated to the worship of the Sun; the Count of Caylus, who believed it to be a Druid church; and M[onsieur]. Mérimée, who saw in it "une église de Templiers". Corblet himself (1881-1882), who sides with "la majorité des antiquaires", believes it to be a baptistery built earlier than the 8th century and describes it as tower-like with twelve doors which opened in the old days to a concentrical cloister of which only ruins remain [cf. the "iglesia templaria" at Eunate, in Navarre, Spain, for an example of such a construction, but octagonal and minus eleven of the doors]. Corblet also states that there is a water fountain nearby which would have supplied the water to the baptistery. (Corblet, 1881-1882, v. 2, p. 63-64). The Phaidon guide to France (1985) adds that though "long thought to be a Roman church, it is now held to have been rebuilt in the 11C on the model of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem." (France..., 1985, p. 524-525). Whether or not it was ever used as a baptistery, the building was likely a round church built in the 11th or 12th century. [NB: we have no information of a font in it]. The present parish church dates from the mid-19th century.
