Description
The Cross is a village cross from the 14th century, made of limestone. It features a square plinth with three steps and a damaged broached square base. The tapered square shaft is adorned with strips of fleurons on each side and stands approximately 2 meters high. This cross was relocated from its original position at the center of a nearby crossroads in 1981.
