Origin and history
The Still Cross Road is a historic monument located in the municipality of Still, in the department of Bas-Rhin, in the Grand East. Built during the 4th quarter of the 18th century, it bears witness to the religious architecture of this period in Alsace. This type of monument, intended for devotion and meditation, was often located on the edge of villages or on hills, marking a spiritual journey for the faithful.
Ranked as historic monuments since 1983, Still's Cross Road is now protected for its heritage value. It is located more precisely at Stationenberg, and its exact address is 7 Rue du Calvaire. The property belongs to the municipality of Still, suggesting a public administration and a role in local life. The cross paths, typical of the Alsatian cultural landscape, reflect the importance of the Christian faith in the social and spatial organization of the rural communities of the time.
Available data indicate that the monument was classified by decree of 18 October 1983, making it a protected element of the French heritage. Although the sources mention an approximate location and a cartographic accuracy considered fair, the Way of the Cross remains a point of historical and tourist interest for the region. No additional information is provided on its architecture, possible restorations or current use (visits, cults, etc.).
