When it comes to classifying small sacred monuments like this cross, there are many possibilities; for example, according to the material or the year of its erection, but perhaps more important is the question of the donor's intention. This stone cross, erected in the 19th century, is classified as a memorial cross. The plaque in the lower part of the crossbeam bears witness to this to this day, thus keeping the memory of a person and the circumstances of their tragic death alive for many generations.
