Inaugurated on March 20, 1887, this building made Châteaulin the first electrified town in the west of France, and the third in France! The hydroelectric plant was built here, on the banks of the Nantes-Brest canal, to harness the motive power of the waterfall at the Coatigrac'h lock. Thanks to it, the inhabitants of Saint-Coulitz were among the first to have electricity and to be able to chill their butter - Breton gold! - to cool.

The Saint-They chapel is a 17th-century building that was once the commune's parish church. It stands in Vieux-Bourg, the commune's main town until 1846!

This church was built in the 16th and 18th centuries, then rebuilt in 1862 by architect Joseph Bigot. The original bell tower and part of the south side porch, with its shell niches separated by pilasters, as well as the 16th-century coved interior door, have been preserved. The furnishings were distributed among the chapels in the commune, and replaced by new neo-Gothic furniture.

The building was erected in the 16th century and placed under the protection of Saint Blaise, a saint not often mentioned in the diocese. The church was modified in the 19th century with the addition of a canted apse. The bell tower was built in 1538. The spire on top is Gothic in style. The bell tower is flanked by the stair turret, topped by a classical-style lantern dome. Inside, you'll find a collection of 16th-century polychrome wooden statues, including Saint Yves, who can also be seen on the calvary.
