In the forest south of Saint-Nicolas-Aux-Bois, we encounter a small sacred monument, which, based on its intention, can be classified as a memorial cross. The metal cross located at the top of the monument, surrounded by trees, is comparatively small in relation to the towering, divided shaft. The base of the "Croix Sézinne" consists of two (three if you count the transition) stone elements: a square shaft at the bottom, a slightly projecting, tapered connecting piece in the middle section, and above it, a round shaft that supports the actual cross.

The Croix Sézinne in Saint-Nicolas-Aux-Bois is a historic monument located in the Saint-Gobain forest, in the Aisne department, in France. This is a cross which commemorates a medieval conflict between the monks of the neighboring abbey and the local lords.

The remains of the abbey of Saint-Nicolas aux Bois were founded in the 11th century by two hermits and had a turbulent history of wars, fires and reforms.
