Calvary, at the intersection of the two streets: inscription by order of 22 February 1978
Origin and history
Parcé-sur-Sarthe Calvary is a stone religious monument built in the 18th century. It is distinguished by its imperial roof and houses a cross Christ from the same period. Located southeast of the agglomeration of Parcé-sur-Sarthe, at the intersection of rue de la Motte and rue Basse, it marks a historical and architectural landmark in the local landscape.
The Calvary was listed as a historic monument on February 22, 1978, recognizing its heritage value. This type of monument, typical of French rural areas, often served as a place of devotion and gathering for the inhabitants. Its stone construction and architectural style reflect the local traditions of the time.
Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm that the calvary was already in place before 1778. Today it belongs to the commune of Parcé-sur-Sarthe and remains a testimony to the religious and cultural history of the region. Its precise location, at the junction of two streets, highlights its integration into the city's historic urban fabric.
