Plomeur

There are several megalithic sites scattered around the area:

• Beg An Dorchenn: standing at the top of the Pointe de La Torche for 6,000 years, this dolmen is a must-see. Human bones dating back to the Neolithic period have been found here.
• Alignements de Lestriguiou: At the beginning of the 19^th century, this site contained more than 600 menhirs. Imagine them spread over 1 km, in 4 rows. Their orientation was that of the sunrise at the winter solstice. Today, around fifty menhirs remain, having survived the looting of the past.

• Dolmen de Kerugou: It was here, in 1876, that pottery of a particular type was first discovered, and has since been known as the “Kerugou style”. This type of pottery was widespread in southern Brittany around 3,000 BC, and is characterised by its vertical ribbed decoration. The T-shaped dolmen has a corridor and a compartmentalised chamber.
• Kerfland menhirs: an alignment of three menhirs facing north-south. Flints were found during excavations.

There are many bunkers and blockhouses dating from the Second World War in Pays Bigouden.

Pointe de La Torche was an ideal lookout post, so it has several, including a remarkable one at the top of its mound. Other smaller reinforced concrete blocks are scattered along the beach to the right.

Nestling in a rural bocage, the building dates back to the 13^th century. The exterior pulpit is surmounted by a very old cross. Inside, there are a number of statues dating from the 16^th and 17^th centuries.

In 1675, Tréminou was a focal point of the Red Bonnet Revolt. The fountain is in Lestreminou, 500 metres to the south. To the west, 150 metres from the chapel, on a slope, an Iron Age stele bears witness to ancient Celtic cults.

Until the Revolution, “Beuzeg” was a vast parish.

The four-bay stained glass window is remarkable. A stained glass window was installed in 2003, depicting Saint Budog (the chapel’s patron saint) and his disciple Saint Gwénolé.

Inside are statues of Pieta and three Gothic virgins dating from the 14^th and 15^th centuries. The calvary dates from the 16^th century and the fountain (500m away) from the 17^th century.
