    The Saint-Uzec menhir (in Breton: Kalvar Sant-Uzeg) is a menhir located in the town of Pleumeur-Bodou, near the Saint-Uzec chapel towards Ile-Grande. The menhir was Christianized in 1674 during a mission of the "apostle of Brittany", the Jesuit father Julien Maunoir who had it inserted in a plasterwork with access by stile, had it painted, sculpted and surmounted by a cross. The Christianization of the “standing stones” testifies to a desire to assimilate previous religious signs. It shows the Church's desire to integrate the pagan worship of stones into religious syncretism.
