Historique
Seul vestige d'une ancienne abbaye, ce calvaire du 15e siècle est devenu bien communal en 1791. En 1886, il est vendu avec la chapelle de l'abbaye. Le calvaire reposait sur un socle triangulaire. La Pietà a été déposée au musée de Quimper. La plupart des statues qui composaient le calvaire ont été dispersées. La croix centrale avec le Christ est intacte. Les deux fûts des croix ayant porté le bon et le mauvais larron sont présents. Une partie du corps de l'un des apôtres qui étaient placés sur douze socles, a été retrouvée.

History
Sole remains of an old abbey, this 15th century calvary became communal property in 1791. In 1886, it is sold with the abbey chapel. The calvary rested on a triangular base. The Pietà was deposited in the museum of Quimper. Most of the statues which composed the calvary have been dispersed. The central cross with Christ is intact. The two shafts of the crosses bearing the good and bad thief are present. Part of the body of one of the apostles which were placed on twelve bases has been found.
