LOCJEAN CHAPEL
According to reports, the chapel of Locjean, which was built in the first half of the 16th century, was remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries and belonged to the hospitable monks of St John of Jerusalem. Among other things, we discover a bell tower of the Cornish type, inside two clams and a credence in accolade as well as a dozen statuettes are listed as Historic Monuments and complete the furniture of the 16th century. But what we notice above all are the magnificent trees that surround it, and among them a superb 400-year-old oak tree. We also discover the remains of a burnt yew tree, carved with a leprechaun and its lantern, in 2007 by Patrig Ar Goarnig, a committed Breton artist, eager to promote local culture! This majestic tree, although partially damaged following an arson attack, whose rough trunk was used to create this korrigan reminiscent of the phantasmagorical universe of Breton legends, remains in its new form a wonder.
