Origin and history

The cross of Vouxey, located in the hamlet of Imbrecourt, is a historical monument classified by decree of July 23, 1907. Dated precisely from 1511, this stone cross illustrates the religious art of the early 16th century in the Lorraine region, now integrated into the Great East. Its exact location, 6 Rue du Patouillet, corresponds to a location deemed "passable" (note 5/10) in the heritage bases, perhaps reflecting minor geographical uncertainties or changes in the surrounding structure.

The protection of this cross as a Historical Monument underlines its heritage importance, although the available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) do not detail its sponsor or its original use. Owned by the municipality of Vouxey (code Insee 88523), it is part of a rural context where the road or hamlet crosses often marked places of devotion, territorial boundaries, or gathering points for local communities. Their presence also reflected the Christianization of the countryside and the influence of the Church in the daily life of the Renaissance.

The administrative data indicate that the cross is located in the Vosges department, rounded to the approximate address of 6 Rue du Patouillet, although the Merimée base also mentions the "Hamel d'Imbrecourt". No information is provided on its current accessibility (visit, open to the public) or on any restorations.
