architecture
This is a tall, white succinct , neo-Gothic Crossroads of sandstone with a figure of the crucified Christ . A multi-tiered substructure with a recessed inscription plate rises above a rectangular basalt foundation :
"Father, I command my spirit into your hands - 1876"
The substructure is closed by a stepped roofing that accommodates a small ogival niche with a statue of the Virgin Mary . The base of the tall, slender cross with the inscription: " Salvator mundi " develops above it . The bevelled edges of the cross bars are emphasized in the corners by floral elements, which are also found similarly on the end faces of the cross arms. The side surfaces of the substructure each show a pointed arch element.
The cross is a testimony to the history of the place and is protected as an architectural monument.
