    Dated from the 13th century, the lantern of the dead of Saint-Goussaud was moved at the beginning of the 19th century from the cemetery where it was initially located. Thanks to a pulley system, a light was hoisted there to guide the deceased.

    The lantern states that it’s by the cemetery but either it moved or it’s been wrong all along. The cemetery is across the village, heading toward Le Fieu.
