En 1980, elle a été transférée à l'intérieur de l'église, au fond contre le mur nord ; la croix a été fixée sur un socle pivotant pour permettre de voir ses deux côtés. C'est une croix monolithe en grès dont les deux faces sont sculptées : une Piéta et un personnage agenouillé à ses pieds ; au revers un Christ en croix. Datée 1636.

History
The cross was situated on the path of Estresses 400 metres to the west of the village. In 1980, it was transferred inside the church, at the back against the north wall; the cross was fixed on a rotating base to allow both sides to be seen. It is a monolithic cross in sandstone of which the two faces are sculpted: a Pietà and a kneeling figure at its feet; on the reverse a Christ on the cross. Dated 1636.
