Cross of Saint-Barber: inscription by order of 15 June 1926

Origin and history

La Croix de Saint-Barber is a monument located in the commune of Moutier-Rozeille, in the department of Creuse, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It has been classified as a Historic Monument since its registration by decree on 15 June 1926. This monument belongs to the commune and is located approximately 10 Impasse des Ruisseaux.

The accuracy of its location is considered fair, according to the available data. The monumental crosses, such as that of Saint-Barber, were often erected in the French countryside to mark gathering places, crossroads or religious sites. In rural areas such as Limousin, these monuments also served as landmarks for pilgrims or travellers.

Their presence reflects the importance of religion and local traditions in the social and spatial organization of communities.
