The 15th century cross, formerly located in Ramonville-Saint-Agne (Haute-Garonne): inscription by order of 30 May 1928
Origin and history
The Château de Hordesse, located in Nerac in the department of Lot-et-Garonne (New Aquitaine region), is a monument built in the 15th century. Although precise architectural or historical details are not explicitly described in the available sources, it is identified as a Historical Monument, with a 15th century cross classified by arrest in 1928. This cross, formerly located in Ramonville-Saint-Agne in Haute-Garonne, is now associated with this site.
The location of the castle is specified with an administrative address in Nerac (code INSEE 47195), although a GPS approximation is located in Andiran, at 5084 Hordosse. The accuracy of this location is assessed as satisfactory (note 7/10) based on available data. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, accommodation, or events), or on any specific owners or historical functions.
In the context of the fifteenth century in Aquitaine, religious or seigneurial castles and monuments played a central role in social and political organization. They often served as places of power, defense, or prestige symbols for noble families or ecclesiastical institutions. The region, marked by conflicts such as the Hundred Years' War, saw these buildings as stable landmarks in a changing territory. The classified cross, a protected element of the site, reflects the importance of religious symbols in the medieval public space.
