Le Léon connut un développement considérable et permanent, du XVème au XVIIIème siècle, grâce aux ventes de toiles de lin, les « crées », aux marchés anglais, espagnols, hollandais et portugais qui ravitaillaient également l'Amérique du Sud. Saint-Thégonnec devient alors la patrie d'une véritable caste paysanne, « les Julots ». Ces paysans négociants édifièrent leur fortune sur ce commerce et l'élevage du cheval breton. Soucieux de posséder les plus somptueux édifices religieux, ils favorisèrent au sein du Conseil de Fabrique de la paroisse, l'installation dans la région d'ateliers d'artisans et de créateurs et les chargèrent de la réalisation de l'ensemble ecclésial, témoignant avec une monumentalité exceptionnelle et une accumulation ostentatoire des richesses locales. Une excellente gestion des ressources de la paroisse (ventes de toiles, loyers des fermages et dons des particuliers) permit l'agrandissement et l'embellissement constant de leur enclos, véritable flambeau de la fierté de toute une population. Les habitants de Saint-Thégonnec placèrent l'ensemble monumental sous le double patronage de saint Thégonnec et de Notre-Dame de Vrai-Secours. La fermeture du marché anglais par Colbert, en 1687, réduit la production de lin des trois quarts, entraînant une décadence définitive de l'industrie et du commerce de la toile dans le Léon. Saint-Thégonnec n'en demeure pas moins aujourd'hui, l'ensemble le plus réussi, le plus complet et le dernier en date des...

One is the "enclos paroissal" and a fine example at that. It is an enclosed church with site buildings, churchyard and some artwork thrown in. It is all very cosy. The are free guides available (at least in the high season) who just start explaining things as soon as some people gather around then. It's all very informal. Inside there is some fine...

Wow what a church! Beautiful, I've never seen any church in this style in England.

Although the stone cross looks a bit scary. I wouldn't like to walk near it in the wind or if there was an earthquake.

I cycle tours into town for the BCN/BPF stamp. Well...

MAJ août 2023 J'ai eu la chance de profiter de la visite guidée d'une association qui s'occupe de la sauvegarde du patrimoine religieux. Même si la visite n'était pas parfaite (ce sont des étudiants bénévoles et ils ne peuvent pas tout savoir), cela m'a permis de découvrir les détails de cet enclos si riche. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juillet 2017 Magnifique enclos, très belle église, dommage qu'il n'y ait pas d'explications ou de visite commentée.

Sono stata qui per un tour della Bretagna. I calvari sono luoghi particolari, enormi strutture di granito situato in paesi tutto sommato non molto grandi; il granito è lavorato perfettamente ed un po' rovinato dalle intemperie, si è scurito e dà al tutto un'aria molto severa ed un po' lugubre, di certo voluto. L'interno della chiesa è molto decorata e fa un po' da contraltare a ciò che sta all'esterno. Vale la pena passare da queste parti.
