Kamenný kríž
Barokní pískovcový kríž osazený na tvarovaném soklu. Bocní strany jsou prizdobeny, na zadní strane se nachází datace 1753 a obdélníková litinová tabulka s delším textem pripomínající sv. misii r. 1869. Korpus Krista je zpracován ve vysokém reliéfu. Tvár je jemne modelovaná, anatomie dobre zvládnutá. Prestože se kríž svou ornamentikou opožduje za rokem vzniku - 1753 - jedná se o práci dobré dobové úrovne.
