Villeneuve-le-Comte obelisk, Protected obelisk at Carrefour de l'Obélisque crossroads in Villeneuve-le-Comte, France.
The obelisk stands 15 meters tall at the intersection of RD 231 and RN 36, crowned with a terrestrial globe decorated with waves and lightning patterns.
Built in 1735, this monument marks the meeting location between Louis XV and the Duke of Brandenburg during a hunting expedition in the Crecy forest.
The monument displays hunting symbols on its northern face, including a bow, quiver, and axe, representing the area's traditional forest activities.
Located at the highest point of Crecy forest at 134 meters altitude, the obelisk serves as a reference point for navigation through the surrounding woodland.
The structure features symbolic elements suggesting themes of destruction by water and fire, as noted in Fulcanelli's philosophical studies.
