Origin and history

Demigny is a historic monument located in the municipality of Demigny, Saône-et-Loire. It is distinguished by its engraved weapons, associated with Guigone de Salins, a local figure whose identity and precise role are not detailed in the available sources. This type of pillar, often linked to seigneurial or territorial marks, bears witness to the practices of delimitation or commemoration over the past centuries.

Classified as historical monuments by decree of 22 September 1927, this pillar is now owned by the commune of Demigny. Its location, reported near Rue de la Chapelle, suggests integration into the local landscape, although the sources do not specify its original use. Such boundaries were commonly used to mark borders, rights of passage or properties, reflecting the social and territorial organization of rural communities in Burgundy.
