Origin and history

La Croix de Scouhel is a monument in the commune of Caudan, Brittany. The available data do not specify its exact origin or period of construction, making it a mysterious element of local heritage. The monumental crosses, frequent in Brittany, often served as religious, historical or funeral landmarks for communities.

Their presence generally reflected the importance of the Christian faith in daily life, as well as the role of sacred symbols in the social and cultural organization of Breton villages.
