Origin and history

La Croix de chemin de Mazirot is a historical monument located in the commune of Mazirot, in the department of Vosges (88), in the Grand Est region. Dating from the 15th century, this stone cross is a typical example of medieval road crosses, often erected at crossroads or along roads to mark a place of prayer or gathering.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 3 June 1908, this cross is now owned by the municipality of Mazirot. Its location, although documented (11 Rue du Calvaire), remains approximate according to available sources, with an accuracy assessed as "a priori satisfactory". These crosses played an important role in the religious and social life of rural communities, serving as spiritual landmarks and meeting points.

Available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, confirm its protected status and its belonging to the local heritage. No additional information on its sponsor, artist or specific events related to this cross is mentioned in the sources consulted.
