Origin and history

The stone cross of Montigny-sur-Armançon is a 15th century monument, located in the Côte-d'Or department, in Burgundy-Franche-Comté. It is precisely at the entrance of the city, on the road to Villeneuve, and was classified as a Historical Monument by ministerial decree on December 8, 1941. This classification specifically protects this building, owned by the municipality, for its heritage and historical interest.

The location of the cross is documented with a priori satisfactory accuracy (note 6/10), and its official address is listed in the Merimée database. Although available sources (Monumentum, internal data) do not detail its original use, this type of monument was generally linked to religious, commemorative or delimitating functions in medieval villages. Burgundy, a region marked by a high level of agricultural and wine-growing activity in the Middle Ages, had many similar buildings, often erected near the towns.

No information is provided on the sponsors, craftsmen or specific events associated with this cross. Its current state, accessibility (open or closed to the visit) and possible contemporary functions (such as tourist use) are not specified in the sources consulted.
