Stone crosses Kladruby
Stone crosses Kladruby submitted by ladrin : Stone stele in front is about 80 cm tall and has a carving of probably human body on its front. According to legend, it stood on the place, where some wild animal killed the maid when she went for the hay. (Vote or comment on this photo)
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.
