La Croix de Kervoënno is a monument located in the town of Lannion, Brittany. Although its construction period is not specified in the available sources, it is part of the historical landscape of this coastal commune in northwestern France. This type of cross, common in Brittany, often reflects a religious or commemorative tradition rooted in local communities.

In the Breton context, monumental crosses such as that of Kervoënno could serve as a landmark, symbol of faith, or marker for local events. In Lannion, as in other cities in the region, these monuments were often linked to the daily lives of the inhabitants, reflecting their social organization and beliefs. Their presence in the public space also underlined the importance of religion in structuring rural or urban areas.
