Description
The churchyard cross, located approximately 10 meters south of the Church of St. Peter, dates from the 13th or 14th century and was restored around 1929. It is made of limestone and features a renewed tapering octagonal shaft that rises from a square medieval base. This base has a chamfered octagonal top with corner spurs and rests on a square two-step plinth. The 20th-century head of the cross is carved with depictions of The Crucifixion and The Virgin and Child on its gabled sides, and it has shields on the lesser sides.
