The Catholic branch church of St. Sebastian in Puch, a district of Fürstenfeldbruck in the Upper Bavarian district of the same name, was built in the middle of the 15th century in the late Gothic style and renovated in the first half of the 18th century in the Baroque style. The church is dedicated to Saint Sebastian and Blessed Edigna von Puch, a French king's daughter who is said to have lived as a hermit in Puch in a hollow linden tree, the so-called Edignalinde. The church is one of the protected architectural monuments in Bavaria.

The rail parts and sleepers used are from the former peat railway. The meMOORial is reminiscent of intensive peat mining as heating or insulating material and for locomotive lighting.
