Mantallot: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In Mantallot, local history can be read in its buildings and crosses. These traces range from religious buildings to stone crosses dating from different periods.

Culture

The parish church of Saint-Médéric was built from the late 17th century to the first half of the 18th century. Its reliquary has been classified as an object since 1968. The church is open only by prior request to the town hall; it should first be clarified by telephone whether a responsible person is on site.

The Bertu chapel oratory was built in 1958–1959 near a spring dedicated to Notre-Dame-des-Vertus. It reuses materials from the former seigneurial chapel of Lochou, which was built in the 17th century and is now destroyed. According to local tradition, mothers pray to Notre-Dame-des-Vertus for children who have difficulty walking.

History

The Manoir de Kerilis is a former seigneurial residence that was probably rebuilt in the 17th century. Its rear stair tower houses a wooden spiral staircase leading to the first floor and the attic floors. The well at the Manoir de Kerilis reuses an old grey granite millstone.

Wayside Crosses

The “Croix des Quatre Vents” wayside cross is located at Les Quatre Vents in Mantallot. Its shaft dates from the 16th century; the upper section, which bears a cross, probably dates from the first quarter of the 19th century.

The cemetery cross of Mantallot is a monolithic grey granite cross and probably dates from the 16th century. On the front, it depicts the dead Christ; on the back, the Virgin and Child. The Penn ar Guer wayside cross probably dates from the late Middle Ages and stands along the historic “chemin du Vieux Marché à La Roche”.

At the entrance to Park Mézou road stands the “Croix de chemin, Park Mézou” wayside cross, where the road meets the D33D, north of Mantallot’s town centre. The base bears the date 1773 and an inscription naming the Vicomte de Kergariou as its donor.
