St Engan's Church

The village of Llanengan stands 1.2 mi south-west of Abersoch just inland from the southern coast of the Llŷn Peninsula. The church stands in the centre and is dedicated to Saint Engan. A Welsh saint of the 5th or 6th centuries, his remains are said to be buried in the church. The church dates from the 13th century, but almost all of the present structure is from a building campaign between 1520 and 1534. Later restorations were undertaken in the 19th and 20th centuries. The church was on the pilgrimage route to St Mary's Abbey on Bardsey Island. The church remains an active parish church in the Diocese of Bangor and regular services are held.

Richard Haslam, Julian Orbach and Adam Voelcker, in their 2009 edition Gywnedd, in the Buildings of Wales series, describe the church as among "the most beautiful" of the pilgrimage churches on the peninsula. The nave and chancel are continuous, a south porch and a west tower.
