Crucifix rue de nancy, Wayside cross in Ostwald, France
The stone crucifix stands at the intersection of Rue de Nancy and Rue Neuve, featuring carved details on both the base and main structure.
The cross continues an Alsatian tradition dating back centuries when religious markers served as territorial boundaries and navigation points for merchants and travelers.
This monument reflects the Catholic heritage of the region through its architectural elements characteristic of post-French Revolution religious art in Alsace.
Located at a central crossroads, the crucifix functions as a navigation landmark for residents and visitors moving through the residential streets of Ostwald.
The base contains inscriptions in Alsatian dialect documenting dates of historical religious processions that took place in the local community.
