Description: The statue was crafted by folk woodcarver Jozef Legerský and likely depicts the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Her hands rest on her chest, reaching toward her heart, with a rosary hanging over the heart at the time of description, though it was likely not part of the original statue. The statue is housed under a simple wooden shelter placed on a concrete base. The shelter’s structure is wooden, with a wooden roof covered in red asphalt shingles. On the front of the roof, an inscription is carved in cursive in two lines: " Zastav sa // a rozjímaj." (‘Pause // and reflect.’) Surroundings: The statue with its shelter is situated at the edge of a forest and what used to be a clearing, which has turned into a muddy area due to logging. The location lies northwest of Klinkovský Hill.
Masses or worships (for which feast, regularly/irregularly): Private only.
