Located on the site of a Celtic oppidum in front of the Notre-Dame de Tronoën, this ordeal is the oldest in Brittany. Located near the chapel, in an austere setting, it dates from the early sixteenth century. On its rectangular bases, you can discover three crosses on which six characters are gathered. Two friezes equally surround the ordeal of John trolimon and represent the childhood and the Passion of Christ. These scenes are well described through a hundred characters. As for the south, the building is plagued by salt winds, while the north, less exposed to the weather, a Nativity is still visible: the Virgin lies naked on the bed, the sheets cover her up to the belt. At her feet, the child Jesus, grown enough for a new-born! The Magi, meanwhile, are dressed in the garb of the fifteenth century.

Le plus ancien calvaire. Difficile à trouver dans un lieu isolé mais agréable; Le calvaire est superbe avec des sculptures parfois étonnantes même si il aurait besoin d'un peu d'entretien

Calvaire et chapelle
Notre-Dame-de-Tronoën est une chapelle de pèlerinage du XVe siècle qui dépend de la commune de Saint-Jean-Trolimon, en Pays Bigouden. Elle est située dans la baie d'Audierne, qu'elle domine à 30 mètres de hauteur, à 5 kilomètres au nord de Saint-Guénolé et de Penmarc'h dans le Finistère sud. Elle est célèbre par son calvaire, le doyen des grands calvaires bretons.

Le plus ancien calvaire de Bretagne, qui nous réserve de sacrées surprises à l'image de Marie les seins nus ! Quel dommage que ce patrimoine ne soit pas protégé, l'usage du temps est déjà considérable et cela ne vas que s'aggraver...
it is the oldest, but it is very impressinnant. Almost feet in the sea, a small shop in the house next to the church offers Breton specilaities. To visit as well as 6 other monumental parish.
