Ancient Cross in Bohemia

Very nice example of a well-treated stone crosses collection. Medieval propitiatory crosses were moved from its origin location (for example to save it from the mining activity) and gently placed in front of the church of St Kunhuta in Královské Poříčí.

The left cross, fixed today with the steel plate is about 130 cm tall and has very unusuall "head". Is associated with the local legend of the long-ago struggle between pack of youths from the two villages. Another cross with the carving of the year 1673 then commemorates the death of a chaplain.
