    The "Wamperte", as the name suggests, is a massive, thick wayside shrine with an octagonal shape. The construction is attributed to the first half of the 15th century. It is only in the vicinity that it becomes clear what unique quality this red sandstone shrine is. The massive lower part is built from hewn stone slabs and is closed off by a large square slab (from around 1500). The ogival Gothic niche placed on top is likely to come from a demolished building from the 14th century, perhaps from the Hörersdorf church, which shows traces of numerous renovations, or from the old pilgrimage church of St. Anna, which was demolished in 1785. Between 1992 and 1996 a lightning strike damaged the Wamperten.
