The 3.60 m high and 2.40 m wide land monument, erected in 1952, belongs to the Müller-Zeiner family. It goes back to the year 1800 and is reminiscent of an accident at this point. It is a rare, so-called Volto-Santo cross (= holy face, holy figure). The 1.60 m tall carved and painted figure of Christ stands on the cross on a console and wears a long, blue dress with stars and a crown. Such wooden crosses were widespread throughout Europe around 1100.
