HERITAGE DIVE INTO local history

From prehistoric standing stones to chapels, wash-houses and fountains, the story of our past is told through the structures and buildings of our countryside. Pays Bigouden has a particularly rich heritage!

Stones for every era

Talking about heritage is such a vast undertaking! The notion encompasses all those elements inherited from the past and remind us of the customs of bygone eras and memorable dates – in short, everything that makes up our collective memory.

There are also a few contemporary works that we like to place in this category, and which are well worth a look.

Spotlight on...

Three treasures of Bigouden heritage are being restored to their former glory (or are in the process of being): the château at Pont-l’Abbé, the old lighthouse at Penmarc’h and the chapel at Tronoën. Thanks to their recent restoration, these emblematic sites will once again reveal the richness of our history and invite everyone to come and rediscover them in a new light.
