Origin and history

The cross of Corpoyer-la-Chapelle is an emblematic 15th century monument, located in the village cemetery. This monument, typical of late medieval religious architecture, bears witness to the importance of Christian symbols in the funeral spaces of the time. Its listing in the Inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 7 December 1925 underlines its heritage value and its role in local history.

Located in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, more precisely in the Côte d'Or department (code Insee 21197), this cross reflects the artistic and religious practices of the late Middle Ages. At that time, the cemetery crosses served both as a spiritual landmark for the faithful and as an identity marker for rural communities. Their presence strengthened the link between village life and Christian traditions, while embodying a form of symbolic protection for the deceased.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the cross is located at the approximate address of 45 Rue de l'Ecossart. Although the accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), its status as communal property guarantees its preservation. No additional information is provided on any sponsors, craftsmen or specific historical events related to its construction or use over the centuries.
