The nice late Gothic wayside shrine (Bildstock) at western edge of small village Goldgeben near Stockerau, made of sandstone with "lantern" in its upper part, where a small niche can be found. Inside the nich there is St Mary with the Baby Jesus. As the lantern reminds "tabernacle" it is such type of wayside shrine often called here "Tabernakelbildstock". According to inscription "lt. Dehio Ende 16. Jhdt." the wayside shrine was built before 1556 and then renovated in 1989 and 2010.
