"Fontainebleau was built by King Louis IX in 998 as a simple hunting lodge in the heart of the "Ile de France", but it soon fell into oblivion. It was only when Francis I discovered his love for Fontainebleau and elevated it to a residence that the castle's real history began as the ancestral home of the French kings. Henry IV had the complex expanded and under Napoleon I the building was extensively restored as the first imperial residence." With these words, a text on the media library's website introduces a 15-minute film (in German) about the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The origins of this imposing wayside cross are said to date back to the 17th century; it has been destroyed several times since – including during the French Revolution – but always rebuilt. The crossing, i.e. the intersection of the longitudinal and transverse beams of the cross, is designed as a closed circle, the transverse beam bears the inscription „Croix de Calvaire“. The name refers to Calvary Hill, in memory of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Golgotha (this Aramaic word means – just like Calvaire, derived from Latin – „skull place“) near Jerusalem.
