Origin and history

The cross de chemin de Trédrez-Locquémeau is a monument located in the municipality of the same name, in the department of Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany. Dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, it embodies the architectural and religious heritage of this period, marked by a strong presence of Christian symbols in public spaces.

The cross was listed as historical monuments by an order of 22 December 1927. This official protection underscores its heritage and cultural importance. It is located in the public domain, at approximately 5454 Hent Sant Erwan, and belongs to the municipality of Tredrez-Locquémeau.

In modern times, the road crosses played a central role in the life of Breton communities. They served as spiritual landmarks, places of prayer or assembly, and often marked territorial boundaries or processional paths. Their presence reflected the importance of the Catholic religion in the social and daily organization of the region.

Available data from sources such as Wikipedia and Monumentum confirm its historic status and precise location. However, little detailed information remains about its sponsor or the exact circumstances of its construction. The cross remains a silent testimony of the religious and artistic practices of the 17th and 18th centuries in Brittany.
