Origin and history
Bolbec's memorial to the dead is dedicated to soldiers who died during the First World War (1914-1918). It is located at Place Léon-Desgenwas, in the city center, and was fully inscribed as a historical monument by ministerial decree of 29 July 2022. This classification covers the whole of the structure, located on the public domain of the town.
Bolbec, located in Seine-Maritime (Department 76) in the Normandy region, has this monument as a symbol of collective memory. Monuments to the deaths of this period often reflect the tribute paid to local soldiers, as well as the demographic and social impact of the war on small French cities. Their placement in central public spaces, such as this square, underscores their role in daily life and commemorations.
The accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory (note 7/10), and the monument belongs to the municipality of Bolbec. No additional information is provided on its architect, date of initial construction, or specific events related to its inauguration. Available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) confirm its current status as a protected monument.
