Origin and history

The cemetery cross of Val-de-Livenne, dated from the 15th century, is an emblematic monument of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Ranked by ministerial decree on December 20, 1907, it illustrates the importance of religious symbols in medieval funeral spaces. Its exact location, although subject to imprecise (level 5/10 depending on the sources), is associated with the commune of Marcillac en Gironde, as indicated by the Mérimé and INSEE data.

The cemetery crosses in the Middle Ages served as both a spiritual landmark and a social marker for rural communities. In the context of the 15th century in Aquitaine, these monuments often reflected the collective piety and central role of the Church in daily life. Their preservation until today, as for Val-de-Livenne, bears witness to their heritage and memorial value.

The 1907 ranking underlines the early recognition of this heritage by the French authorities. Owned by the commune, the cross remains a key element of the local historic landscape, although its current access and visibility are not specified in the available sources.
