Origin and history

The cross of Vaureal is a historical monument dating from the 1st quarter of the 17th century. Located in the cemetery of the commune, it was classified by ministerial decree on 3 December 1932. This type of monument, typical of funeral or religious spaces, often served as a visual and spiritual landmark for the inhabitants.

The precise location of the cross is indicated as being in the cemetery of Vaureal, with an approximate address at 13 Rue de Caix de Saint-Aymour. The accuracy of this location is considered fair (note 5/10). This monument belongs to the commune and reflects the religious architecture of the modern era in Île-de-France.

In the 17th century, the cemetery crosses played a central role in community life, marking the sacred space and serving as a gathering point for religious ceremonies. Their presence reflected the importance of the Christian faith in the social and spatial organization of villages and small towns in the Paris region.
