Origin and history

The cross located in Hauteroche, in the Côte-d'Or department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, dates from the 16th century. This monument, classified by ministerial decree on 31 December 1937, is precisely at the corner of the streets of the Castle and the Cross. Owned by the commune, it bears witness to the religious architecture of the Renaissance in this rural area.

In the 16th century, Burgundy was marked by a transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, with a development of the arts and religious architecture. The road or crossroads crosses, such as that of Hauteroche, often served as spiritual and symbolic landmarks for local communities. Their presence reflected the importance of Christian faith in everyday life, while marking public space.
