Origin and history

The monument to the dead of the war 1914-1918 of Fécamp is a memorial building located in Place du Général de Gaulle, in the Seine-Maritime department. He paid tribute to the soldiers of the commune who had fallen during the First World War. The monument, including its contemporary base, was inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 29 July 2022, thus recognizing its heritage and memorial value.

Its recent inscription (2022) underlines the continuing importance of preserving these historical testimonies.
