Cairn of Barnenez

Monument

Situated on the Kernéléhén peninsula in the Finistère-Nord region, the Barnenez cairn is one of the first traces of buildings made in durable materials in Europe. This gigantic megalith dates back to the Neolithic period, which corresponds to the appearance of smooth stone, breeding and agriculture in Europe.
At the top of a hill by the English Channel, this strange ancient building is characterised by its oblong aspect and its age, since it dates back to 4500 to 3500 BC. The long corridors, which lead to funeral rooms, can be interpreted as funeral spaces or initiation places.
