Chomutov Propitiatory Cross

Ancient Cross in Bohemia

Propitiatory crosses are stone monuments at least of medieval origin. Some of these could be perhaps much older prehistoric standing stones before it was transformed in to cross. During centuries they were often moved from place to place or used for varied construction ways, sometimes very strange. Some ended as a part of a walls and buildings, in the best case church.

Unfortunately in this miserable case it is not like that. Remains of this ancient cross are now organic part of a shabby building in suburb of the industrial city of Chomutov. My personal bet for the worst ambience ever...
