Eglise Saint-Martin
The parish church of Moustey, built in the late 15th - early 16th century, has coexisted with the church of Notre-Dame, just a few meters away. This coexistence of two churches so close together in one village already intrigued pilgrims and travellers in the mid-19th century, as attested by the saying: "Qu'ey tan courut, tan sautat, Jamé n'éy bis dus glises hen un ségrat" (I've run so much, jumped so much, I've never seen two churches in one cemetery).
If local tradition is to be believed, it was the rivalry between two lords of the parish, vying for precedence at church services, that led one of them to have "his" church built next to the other.
