Description

This is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, about 1 meter southeast of the southeast corner of the chancel of the Church of St. Peter. It is likely from the second quarter of the 18th century and is made of stone. The tomb features a flat lid with a moulded edge and bolection moulding on a rectangular panel on the south side, which is framed on each side by hanging fruits and flowers. The north side has a rococo frame around a rectangular panel with a swelling center and framed ends similar to the south side. The corners have quarter-square gadrooned balusters with carving on the stem. The west end displays cherubs' heads, while the east end features a flaming urn.
