Description: A stone cross located in front of the parish church, composed of a three-tier stone base, a divided pedestal, and the cross itself. In the lower part of the pedestal is a stone panel with the inscription: " Postavil // Potravný Spolok // Vysocký 1906 r." (Erected by // Food Association// Vysocký 1906.). Above this, in what resembles a semicircular frame, is the inscription: " // „Oh vy všetci, // ktori idete // po ceste tejto, // pozorujte a vidzte // či je bolesť, // jako bolesť moja?!“ // Plač Jerem. I. 12. († // 'Oh all you, // who pass // this way, // observe and see // if there is any sorrow // like my sorrow!'
// Lamentations I. 12.").
At the top of the pedestal is the cross itself, with a shallow niche at the base holding a cast iron relief of the Virgin Mary, followed by the simple cross with no additional decorative elements. The corpus is a cast iron casting, painted gray, as is the vertically positioned plaque with the inscription I N // R I.
Surroundings: The cross is positioned to the right of the path leading to the church, directly in front of the church gate. Until recently, a massive, approximately 200-year-old linden tree stood behind it, which was uprooted by a storm on July 1, 2019, and fell on the church. After its removal, no other vegetation currently stands by the cross.
Renovations: 2006 – renovated by the company SARK – Radúz Salaj, Hlohovec
Masses or worships (for which feast, regularly/irregularly): Private only.
