Kerroch: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Kerroch is associated with a historical trace: the former Kerroch manor belonged to the Talhoët de Sévérac family at the end of the 17th century. In Plouray, there are several documented sites from different eras and religious traditions.

History and Culture

The Chapel of Saint-Guénin in Plouray was built in 1658. Its gallery, dating from the 17th to the 18th century, is supported by granite columns. The chapel also houses an 18th-century oil painting depicting Saint Guénin, who is regarded as an intercessor for mothers before the Virgin Mary.

The Chapel of Saint-Maudé in Plouray was built in the 16th century. Today, only its gable wall and western portal remain. The Guidfoss Dolmen dates from the Bronze Age and is the only surviving megalithic remnant in the municipality.

The Croix Pierre in Rosterch, Plouray, is a cross carved from a block of granite and is often interpreted as a Christianised menhir. The Fontaine de Kermoustoir is a secluded devotional spring in the heart of a valley.

A more recent religious history is represented by the Drukpa Buddhist Centre in Plouray: it was founded in 1985 and established as the European headquarters of the Drukpa lineage in 1986. Visitors can enter the temple and stupa and view statues and silk paintings there. The centre also welcomes walkers who wish to explore the paths through its landscaped grounds.

Nature

The Chêne de Rosterch is an approximately 300-year-old oak tree in the centre of the village of Rosterch in Plouray.
