This 15th-century cemetery cross has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1903. This magnificent Gothic stone cross rises above an octagonal step. It features an ornate pedestal, an equally elaborate column base, then a twisted shaft, a rare feature in local crosses, a capital with plant ornamentation (leaves and foliage) and a cross with flowers at the ends. The first side of the cross features the Virgin and Child standing on a console supported by a putti, while a second angel crowns Mary's head. The reverse shows a crucifixion.
