Cross (Box B 23): entry by order of 24 November 1961
Origin and history
La Croix de La Trinité-de-Thouberville is an emblematic monument located in the eponymous commune in the department of Eure, Normandy. Dated from the 15th century, this stone cross embodies the medieval religious heritage of the region. Its architecture and location reflect the devotional practices of the time, although its precise characteristics are not detailed in the available sources.
Ranked as a historical monument by decree of 24 November 1961, this cross enjoys official protection which underlines its heritage importance. The records indicate that it is located at the approximate address of 3 Rue du Village, on a cadastral parcel identified as B 23. Owned by the municipality, it is part of a series of similar monuments in the region, as evidenced by its inclusion in the List of Historic Monuments of the Eure.
At the time of its construction in the 15th century, Normandy was marked by a rural and agricultural society, where crosses and other religious monuments played a central role in community life. These buildings served as both spiritual landmarks, gathering places and protective symbols for the inhabitants. The cross of La Trinité-de-Thuberville is thus part of a wider tradition of Norman religious heritage, although its specific history remains little documented.
