There is a legend about this cross: it is said that a count killed his wife on this spot after he was informed of her infidelity. After her death, however, the countess's innocence was proven and the count erected this memorial stone with a prayer house as atonement for his hasty act. In order to save his soul, he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, from which he never returned.
