Country of the mushroom !!
Tréglamus is a commune rich in mycology. Each year, in October is organised a mushroom exhibition. During the exhibition, there are various activities in which tourists can partake : sketching, mushroom identification competition, floral decoration…
A magical moment for all !
Tréglamus has preserved its hedgerows, trails, woods and various hiking paths some of which run alongside the Jaudy river. Various calvaries are visible along these different trails, including the Boissière calvary composed of two crosses and you will also be able to see the Sainte-Anne oratory and walk along an old roman road.
All the walks go from the village : take advantage of this by visiting the church (nave from the XVth and XVIth centuries, a XVIIth century statue of Sainte-Véronique…). On the esplanade, behind the church, you will be able to see a XVth century fountain, a stone altar, a cave dedicated to Notre-Dame de Lourdes and a calvary dating back to 1673.
TOPONYMY
Composed of the old Breton word “treb” which means “village”, Tréglamus’ name probably shows that it was inhabited during the Middle Ages. The second half, “Glamus” could come from the name “Glanmeus” or “Glamus” who came from Ireland with Saint Tinidor around 630 to Christianise the region. Tinidor became a bishop of Léon and was consecrated in Dol. Glamus, who was his disciple, spread the Word as far as he could.
It was wrongly stated in 1486 that Tréglamus, which only became a commune in 1790, was a parish in its own right. As Moustéru, it was a dependency of Pédernec’s parish. The Cistercians from Bégard played a role in valorising the area, at least from the XIIIth century onwards. The St Jean de Jérusalem Knights Hospitaller could have also settled here in the XIIth century. Pédernec’s chaplaincy may be at the origin of a village part of the commune called Lochrist as they were, along with the Templars, involved in spreading the word of Christ in Brittany.
Even though Tréglamus was developed more towards feudal times, it still bears traces of an earlier occupation : underground chambers from the iron age and a roman construction. Other remnants have also been found to the south of Tréglamus, near the village of Pen Coat en Hay, like the forest of the same name.
