Calvary at Guéhenno, Monumental calvary in Guéhenno, France
The granite calvary rises from a rectangular pedestal featuring three crosses, with Christ on the central cross and two others on smaller crosses.
Built in 1550 by Guillouic, the calvary suffered destruction in 1794 during the Terror period when Republican troops damaged the religious monument.
The pedestal displays intricate bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the Passion, including Jesus praying in the Garden of Olives and Roman soldiers.
The calvary stands between Vannes and Josselin, forming part of an ensemble that includes a church, ossuary, and cemetery in the village center.
Restoration work in 1853 by Father Jacquot incorporated hidden original fragments with new sculptures, creating the current monument's appearance.
