Origin and history

The church of Saint-Boscat de Treugat, located in the Finistère, probably finds its origin as the seigneurial chapel of the lords of Minven. Its sanctuary, dating from the late 13th or early 14th century, rests on Romanesque foundations. The south porch, adorned with a third-point door, and the arches of the choir, supported by fascinated columns, illustrate the influence of the Pont-Croix architectural school, typical of the region.

At the beginning of the 15th century, the building underwent a profound overhaul, integrating Gothic elements such as calvary, now moved out of the parish enclosure. The major restorations of 1848 altered the nave and windows of the lower side, while in 1896-1898 the bedside bay was rebuilt with a modified emplacement. An inscription of 1848 attests to the work carried out under the mandate of Mayor Charles Rur and his deputy Billien.

Classified as a Historic Monument in 2008, the church includes in its protection the parish enclosure, with its walls and its floor. Its architecture thus combines medieval heritage, Gothic transformations and modern interventions, reflecting almost seven centuries of religious and local history. The 15th century calvary, originally located in the cemetery, bears witness to the funerary and symbolic dimension of the site.
