SENNECEY HERITAGES

From the 11th century onwards, crosses were erected at the entrances to towns and villages, at crossroads, in squares and in cemeteries. Crosses and calvaries, testifying to the impact of Christianization and the fervor of the Christian faith, gained considerable importance in the 15th and 16th centuries. The expansion continued until the revolution, a tragic period during which many of these monuments were destroyed. But in the 19th century, with the return of religious practice, new crosses were erected.
 

Sennecey has no fewer than 12 crosses or calvaries spread across various strategic locations in the town.
