Description: Before 2021, the shrine was a wooden, green-painted cabinet, prismatic in shape with a gabled roof and glass-paneled doors at the front. The roof gable was white, and at the top, a small white cross "grew" from it. The roof’s edges were decorated with small arches. Inside was a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus dressed in white and blue. According to a local resident, this was not the original cabinet, as it had reportedly been replaced at least three times. It was initially erected because the residents of this settlement were far from the churches in Vysoká and Kelčov, so they built the wayside shrine for prayers.
According to the inscription under the roof, the current cabinet was replaced in 2021 by Mr. Ježík. It is made of wood and covered with black rubberized fabric. The roof is decorated with black fabric at the front and a black cross on a gray gable. The roof is covered with tin.
Surroundings: The wayside shrine is located on the left of the forest road passing through this settlement, mounted directly on a large linden tree.
Renovations: 2021
