Origin and history

The Saint-Rémi terminals are white/grey limestone monoliths located in the communes of Chilly and Tremblois-lès-Rocroi, in the department of Ardennes (Hauts-de-France). Their salient face suggests that they once wore coats of arms, now missing. These markers, dated from the Middle Ages, probably marked the territorial boundaries of the Baronnie des Potées, a local feudal entity.

Classified as historical monuments by order of 17 March 1931, these pillars are now protected for their heritage value. Their exact location is mentioned as being on the national road between Charleville and Hirson. Although their original function is linked to the delimitation of seigneurial boundaries, their preservation bears witness to the importance attached to medieval remains in this region.

Their property is shared between the department of Ardennes and the commune of Chilly. Their state of conservation and accessibility are not specified in the available sources, but their classification in 1931 underscores their historical role in the medieval territorial organization of the Ardennes.
