For as long as people can remember, the extraordinarily large gabled shrine with curved side walls, a trough-like base (for flowers) and a glazed image of the Virgin Mary has hung on a mighty beech tree by the wayside. Perhaps the flowing lines of the sides are indicators for the time of origin (ca. 1900).
