A wayside shrine is a religious landmark, usually consisting of a column, pillar or similar base with a religious image on top in a small house or niche. Wayside shrines are often set up on public streets, paths or squares and can be traced back to the 14th century. Today they often serve as a reminder of accidents or disasters.
