Calvary of the cemetery of Drozelles: classification by decree of 19 June 1931

Origin and history

The Calvary of the cemetery of Drozelles is a religious monument located in the commune of Versigny, in the department of Oise (60), in the Hauts-de-France region. Filed by order of 19 June 1931, it belongs to the commune and is located near the castle, according to the GPS coordinates available. Its location is estimated to be "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), although the sources do not specify its exact location in the cemetery.

Calvary, typical of Christian heritage, often served as spiritual and commemorative landmarks in villages. Droizelles, although little documented in available sources, illustrates the importance of religious symbols in rural communities in northern France. These monuments usually marked places of worship or cemetery entrances, playing a role both funeral and identity for the inhabitants.

No additional information on its origin, sponsor or iconography is mentioned in the data consulted.
