The menhir, which is more than two meters high, originally stood on a hill across the street. It was moved to its current location in 1960. It dominated the coastal area for a long time and was used by ships for navigation.

Menhir is borrowed from the Breton name for a prehistoric, towering stone block, which is also known as Hinkelstein. In prehistoric archeology, the word refers to an elongated single stone erected by humans in prehistoric times. Wikipedia
