3 atonement crosses in one place, certainly not the case very often.

Yes, indeed, three atonement crosses in one place aren't that common.

Info:

Atonement crosses in Cotta.

This group of three stone crosses are so-called atonement or murder crosses.

They consist of a group of *formerly* five crosses and have remained at this location since 1934.

According to the explanation, the three penitential crosses were brought together here, although there were once five. Interestingly, these crosses are also called murder crosses, and the middle cross even depicts the murder weapon, a hatchet, which is quite recognizable, especially after the explanation.
