Church of Notre Dame de Lanvénec
Highlight • Other
To the left of the high altar stands the old statue of Our Lady of Lanvénec, the beautiful Virgin Mother, crushing the serpent beneath her feet. The three statues of Ecce Homo, Saint Michael, and Saint Margaret trampling the dragon are also of ancient design. The baptismal font, dating from 1530, and the Virgin Mary outside are listed as Historic Monuments.
Saint-Sané
Locmaria-Plouzané comes from the Breton "Loc Maria" (place dedicated to Mary) and "Plou" (parish) from "Saint-Sané." Like its neighbor Plouzané, it was founded by Saint-Sané, who emigrated from Ireland in the 5th century, in a stone trough. He landed with his disciples on the Perzell beach, near Bertheaume, in the commune of Plougonvelin.
They advanced inland and stopped in the thick Lucos forest on the site of a pagan temple. Saint-Sané, after converting the population, transformed it into an oratory and dedicated it to the Virgin Mary. The wood then took the name "Coat ar C'hras" (the wood of grace). The menhirs in the region were Christianized during this time. This is why they are topped with crosses.
Legend has it that Saint-Sané, after having evangelized the region, returned to die in Ireland around 480
