Origin and history

La Croix de chemin de Norbrat is a monument located in the commune of Meucon, Brittany. This type of cross, often erected at crossroads or along roads, served as a landmark for travellers and pilgrims, while marking a religious presence in the landscape. Details of its construction or sponsor are not available from current sources.

In medieval and modern Brittany, the road crosses played an important social and spiritual role. They rhythmized movements, marked parish boundaries or commemorated local events. Their presence also reflected the community organisation around religious practices and routes of circulation, although their specific history was rarely documented.
