The fountain decorated with a statue of Saint-Gonval and the Calvary are the only remains of a 15th century chapel destroyed during the Second World War. The Crannou forest was, under the reign of Louis XIV, exploited for wood intended for naval construction. A house and its outbuildings were assigned to the Intendant directing the operation and the chapel was then served.

The fountain was built in the first half of the 17th century and is intended to commemorate the hermit Saint Coval, who is said to have lived here around 600.
