Origin and history
The Monument to the Dead of the War 1914-1918 of Lyons-la-Forêt is a memorial building located on Rue de la République, in the department of Eure. It was erected to honour the soldiers of the commune who had fallen during the First World War. Its inscription as a historic monument in July 2022 underscores its heritage and memorial importance to the region.
This monument, owned by the municipality, is distinguished by its central location and legal status: it is protected in its entirety, including all its components. Although architectural or artistic details are not specified in available sources, its symbolic role remains rooted in local history. The accuracy of its geographical location is estimated as fair (note 5/10), based on current mapping data.
Lyons-la-Forêt, attached to the former Haute-Normandie region (now integrated into Normandy), has a heritage linked to the conflicts of the 20th century. The monuments to the dead, like this one, reflect the demographic and social impact of the Great War on the small French communes. Their preservation makes it possible to transmit collective memory to future generations, while marking the public space of a solemn dimension.
