The Latin quote translates as: “That which is acquired with bravery is permanent” and is the motto of the noble family of Barons von Zwierlein, which goes back to Johann Jacob von Zwierlein. At the beginning of the 1750s he acquired the imperial knighthood of Bubenrod near Gießen. (Source: Wikipedia)translated by

Very nice place, quite interesting to look at the particular disposition of the stones. Central stone has some words engraved, a bit difficult to read.
