List of wayside shrines and wayside crosses in the Bautzen district

The wayside shrines and wayside crosses in the Bautzen district in Saxony mostly date from the 17th to 20th centuries. In the Catholic-Sorbian region of Upper Lusatia , many small religious monuments have been preserved, while only a few objects still exist in the other parts of Saxony.

Figures of saints are also enumerated, provided they have the character of wayside shrines, ie are placed on their own plinths in the area and not in facade niches on buildings.

Explanations of the list

The list is partially sortable.

• Location: District (municipality)
• Location: address or coordinates
• Type and age: BS, WK or BT, year of establishment

BS = wayside shrine, prayer column or torture column

WK = wayside cross, field cross or field cross

BT = picture board (built into a wall)

• Comments: Information on the cultural monument
