Nice collection of medieval propitiatory crosses sensitively placed to lapidary in front of St. Jacob's Church in Kladruby south-west Bohemia.
The crosses were collected in 1989 and moved from places of origin to save them from harm or even destruction. Various interesting local legends are associated with them.
