The visitor center is well-kept and houses the original, while a replica is located at the original location.

The cross is not an original, it would be too valuable to keep it here.

The famous "Cross of the Scriptures" is one of the best preserved wheel crosses in the world. The almost four meter high sandstone structure, which has been proven to have existed since the 10th century, is almost 4 meters high and has biblical and secular depictions and inscriptions on all four sides. The original is in the museum on the site - in the original place you can find an indistinguishable replica.
