EN: This wooden cross stands in the south of the old town of Brig on a roadside. The path leads over a staircase from the old town to the Jesuit College, but probably has nothing to do with it.
The cross is about 1.5 meters high and has a small shelter. On the cross an INRI plaque and a small Jesus figure are attached, both in the proportions actually much too small. Otherwise the cross has no inscriptions or dates.
