Origin and history

The Cross Cross of Cluny is an emblematic monument of the city, erected in the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. Located in the communal territory, it embodies the religious and architectural heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Its location, at the intersection of lanes, makes it a historical and cultural landmark for residents and visitors.

The cross was built in 1746, as attested by historical sources. It was officially recognized for its heritage value in 1988, when it was listed as historic monuments. This status protects and enhances this 18th century testimony, reflecting local traditions and crafts of the time.

Located at 18 avenue de la Gare (or 18 avenue Charles de Gaulle according to the sources), the cross is a point of interest in the municipality of Cluny, Saône-et-Loire. Its inclusion in the Merimée base and its mention on platforms such as Wikipedia and Monumentum underline its importance in local and regional heritage.
