Origin and history

The Trimen alignment, located in Saint-Goazec in Finistère, is an emblematic megalithic site of the Neolithic period. This monument consists of several menhirs, aligned according to a characteristic arrangement of the buildings of this time. Ranked a historical monument by decree of May 9, 1914, it bears witness to the importance of the cultural and religious practices of prehistoric societies in Brittany.

The location of Trimen's alignment, although documented in the Merimée database under Insee code 29249, remains approximate, with an accuracy assessed as fair (note of 5/10). The site is identified under the address "213 Tri Men, 29520 Saint-Goazec", in an area marked by a high concentration of megalithic remains. These alignments, typical of the Breton Neolithic, probably served as territorial landmarks, places of worship or astronomical calendars for local communities.

The 1914 classification underscores the heritage value of Trimen's alignment, protected by historical monuments. Available data, from sources such as Monumentum, confirm its status as a protected element (cadastre H 30, 31), without providing further details on its precise use or post-construction history. No information is available on its current accessibility or related services (visits, accommodation).
