Origin and history
The cemetery cross of Charrecey is an emblematic monument located in the village of the same name, in Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. Dated from the 15th and 16th centuries, it embodies the religious architecture typical of this period, marked by artistic and symbolic achievements intended for funeral spaces.
Classified as historical monuments by order of 26 September 1927, this cross of paths illustrates the importance of religious buildings in the organization of medieval and reborn villages. These monuments served not only as spiritual landmarks, but also as gathering places for local communities, reflecting their faith and social life.
The precise location of the cross, mentioned as being close to the church of Charrecey (25 Church Street), highlights its integration into the historical landscape of the village. Owned by the commune, it remains a material testimony of local history, accessible to the public although its current use is not detailed in available sources.
