Origin and history

Marcilly-et-Dracy Stone Calvary is a 16th century historical monument. Place de l'Église in this commune of Côte-d'Or, it was classified by ministerial decree on March 14, 1925. This type of monument, typical of Renaissance religious art, served as a gathering point and devotion for the inhabitants.

The location of the calvary is estimated with an accuracy considered fair (note 5/10), based on available data. Today it belongs to the commune of Marcilly-et-Dracy, which manages it. Although sources mention its status as a Historic Monument, no additional details about its sponsor or specific history are provided in the accessible archives.

Stone calvaries, frequent in Burgundy at that time, often reflected popular piety and served as landmarks in villages. Their construction usually coincided with periods of agricultural prosperity or religious renewal, although these elements are not explicitly documented for this particular monument.
