Lochrist, holy place or sanctuary of Christ in Breton, is crossed by the ancient Gallo-Roman road from Rennes to Quimperlé via Castennec. In the 19th century, the large hamlet of around 50 buildings comprised three main quarters spread around the chapel. Each complex featured a bread oven and three or four farmhouses organised around courtyards. This layout has remained unchanged, despite recent constructions and conversion of older buildings.
