The beutiful sandstone wayside shrine located at the west edge of village Losany, just at the road to Polni Voderady, comes from 1862. It is the work of stonemason from Kutna Hora, Karel Zoufal. The wayside shrine was erected on the place where a wooden statue of Virgin Mary was placed since 1709. That is why a picture of Virgin Mary and the Baby Jesus is painted on the upper "lantern" of the shrine.
