Sixteenth century cross near the Chapel of Corpoyer: inscription by decree of 7 December 1925
Origin and history
The cross of Corpoyer-la-Chapelle, dated from the 16th century, is an emblematic monument located in the village of the same name, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. This monument, inscribed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 7 December 1925, is located near the local chapel. Its exact location, 45 Rue de l'Ecossart, is documented in the Merimée base, although the accuracy of its location is considered mediocre (note of 5/10).
The cross, owned by the municipality of Corpoyer-la-Chapelle (code Insee 21197), belongs to the department of the Côte d'Or, in the former region Burgundy, today integrated with Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Although available sources (Monumentum, internal data) do not specify its current use, its inscription in 1925 underscores its heritage importance. No information is provided on its accessibility, conservation status or possible restoration work.
Historical data are limited to its construction period (XVI century) and legal status. No mention is made of his sponsor, artist, or the specific circumstances of his creation.
