Plouenan: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

A six-kilometre circular hiking trail runs along the Penzé in Plouenan. From Pont de la Corde, it follows the riverbank for around two kilometres to Milinou.

Nature

At the Lopreden site in Plouénan, the washhouse was renovated by local residents in 1995; a basin and a small bridge were subsequently built along the river. A waterwheel is also located at the Lopreden site.

Culture

The present-day Saint-Pierre church building was constructed in 1884 according to plans by the architect Ernest Le Guerrannic; the spire was built in 1893. The tower of Saint-Pierre Church is of the Chapelle du Kreisker type, and its spire is framed by four corner turrets. The church houses the Plouénan treasure, comprising around ten pieces made by Breton goldsmiths between the 15th and 18th centuries.

The Chapelle Notre-Dame de Kerellon is located on the edge of the former Roman road that connected Saint-Pol-de-Léon with Le Faou. The chapel contains twelve statues from different periods. The Lopreden site in Plouénan includes a monument dedicated to Saint-Brandan, the patron saint of the village.

History

The Calvaire de Croas-ar-Rest is a six-metre-high calvary dating from the 16th century, which is listed in the French register of historic monuments.

The first Château de Kerlaudy was built between 1571 and 1670; the 17th-century residence was rebuilt between 1750 and 1787. Château de Kerlaudy is currently privately owned. The Kerlaudy fountain historically served a religious purpose.
