Near Korfiatissa is the Catholic church of Panagia of Rodon (the Virgin of the Roses), witness to the existence of the Catholic faith on the island since the age of Venetian rule. Louis Brest built the church in 1823, a fact which is confirmed by a French epigraph over the entrance, and a marble slab engraved with the legend "Louis Brest 1789- 1862" marks his burial place.
