Le Calvaire (cad. AA 332) : inscription by order of 18 March 1927
Origin and history
The cemetery of Limerzel is distinguished by its ordeal, located in the centre of the village, along the road of the town hall. This religious monument, typical of the Breton heritage, is located in the Morbihan department in Brittany. Its precise location, at 22 rue de la Mairie, makes it a local landmark accessible to the public.
Limerzel Calvary was recognized for its heritage value from the early twentieth century. He has been officially protected since 18 March 1927, when he was listed as a historical monument. This inscription specifically concerns the Calvary itself (Cadastral Park AA 332), property of the municipality. No additional information is available on its origin, its architect or the specific circumstances of its construction.
This type of monument, common in Brittany, played a central role in the community and religious life of the villages. Calvary served as both a place of devotion, a gathering for ceremonies, and an identity marker for parishes. Their presence in cemeteries highlighted the link between the faith, the memory of the deceased and the daily life of the inhabitants, in a region where Christian tradition deeply shaped the landscape and social practices.
