Origin and history

The monolithic cross of Pludino is a religious monument located in Pludino, Brittany. Dating from the 4th quarter of the 18th century, it was erected in 1780, as attests its engraved date. This type of cross, carved in a single block of stone, is typical of the Breton heritage and reflects the importance of the Christian faith in the daily life of the rural communities of the time.

The monument is located at La Ville Echet, in the Côtes-d'Armor department. It was recognized for its heritage value and listed as historic monuments by an order of 28 October 1926. This official protection underscores its architectural and historical interest, although its precise location has been discussed, with some sources placing it near Saint-Pôtan.

The monolithic cross of Pludino, owned by the department, is a material testimony of 18th century rural religious art. Its inscription among the historical monuments in 1926 is part of a broader desire to preserve the important elements of the local heritage, often threatened by erosion or oblivion. Today, it remains a point of interest for those passionate about Breton history and architecture.
