Before you stands a collection of several eras. The column is probably the oldest and consists of two parts in the Renaissance style. It is crowned by an iron cross on which one can distinguish the symbols of the Passion of Christ (pincers, hammer, nail, ladder, and the column of flagellation). The whole stands on a kind of altar erected in 1819 after the death of the Marquis de Mailly, thus paying homage to him.
Antoine de Mailly was born in Vesoul in 1742, the son of Marguerite Henrion de Magnoncourt de Franchevelle.
