Wayside shrine in Denklingen

The wayside shrine in Denklingen , a municipality in the Upper Bavarian district of Landsberg am Lech , was built in 1880 by the innkeeper Johann Geiger in memory of his third wife, who died of puerperal fever . The wayside shrine on the Alpine road to Menhofen , also known as the picture house, is a protected monument .

The donor had three linden trees planted next to the wayside shrine . The building made of exposed brick masonry, facing east towards the parish church of St. Michael , has a gable roof . The wooden Christ sculpture, probably from the first half of the 18th century, was taken into safekeeping. For a long time she stood in the niche of the wayside shrine.
