This sandstone figure was purchased from a monastery by Trier fishermen in 1802. The boatmen thus saved the statue from the French revolutionary troops and placed it here on the banks of the Moselle near Riol. This part of the Moselle was very feared by fishermen because of the shallows. Francis was supposed to keep watch here and protect the sailors. St. stands with a rope-belted habit and, as attributes, the cross in his hand and the globe under his left foot. Francis has been in this place since that time.
