15th century stone cross located near the school house: classification by decree of 14 June 1909
Origin and history
La Croix de Rebeuville is a historical monument located in the municipality of the same name, in the department of Vosges (88), in the Grand Est region. Dating from the 15th century, this stone cross is an architectural and religious testimony of this late medieval period. It is distinguished by its location near the old school house, now disappeared or transformed, and by its official ranking in 1909.
The classification of the cross by decree of 14 June 1909 underlines its heritage importance. It is owned by the municipality of Rebeuville and is representative of the monumental crosses erected in the villages of Lorraine at the end of the Middle Ages. These buildings often served as spiritual or commemorative landmarks, marked village entrances or crossroads, and played a central role in local community and religious life.
The available data, notably via the Merimée and Monumentum database, indicate an approximate location at 21 Rue de l'Eglise, although geographical accuracy is considered poor (note of 5/10). No further information is provided on any sponsors, artisans or specific events related to this cross, except for its legal protection and belonging to the communal heritage.
