Origin and history

La Croix de La Poterie is a historical monument located on the territory of the municipality of Lamballe-Armor, in the department of Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany. It dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, and is precisely on the placister of the church of La Poterie, at the address 13 Route de la Marouette. This monument is representative of the medieval Christian crosses of the region, often erected near churches or crossroads to mark a sacred place or community gathering point.

The cross was listed as historical monuments by an order of 5 October 1964. This official protection underscores its heritage and architectural importance. Today it belongs to the municipality of Lamballe-Armor. Crosses of this type served, in medieval times, as spiritual and social landmarks for local populations, often linked to religious practices, processions or community gatherings. Their presence reflects the importance of the Christian faith in the organization of Breton villages during this period.
