Origin and history

La Croix du XIVe siècle, located on the Langres road at the exit of the village of Champigny-lès-Langres, is an emblematic monument of the Grand Est region. Dating from the 14th century, it bears witness to the medieval religious architecture typical of this period, marked by a strong Christian presence in the countryside.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of October 10, 1927, this cross is now owned by the municipality. Its inscription reflects its heritage importance, although its precise location remains approximate (accuracy level: 5/10). It is part of a historical context where the road crosses served as spiritual landmarks and gathering points for rural communities.

Available data from Monumentum and the Merimée archives indicate that it is located near 726 Rue Pierre Durand. Its current condition and accessibility (open or closed to visit) are not specified in the sources. The cross illustrates the modest but significant heritage of the villages of Haute-Marne, a region formerly integrated with Champagne-Ardenne.
