Alongside the pilgrimage church (Church of the Corpus Christi - kostel Božího Tela) in a woods between villages Bludov and Hrabenov there are several interesting small monuments. The oldest, and perhaps the most interesting, of these are the sandstone columnar wayside shrine, dating back from 1683. It is owned by the Roman Catholic Parish Office in Bludov and it has been a protected cultural monument - like the whole pilgrimage area - since 1958. This wayside shrine was commissioned by the priest from Bludov - Tomas František Fojtík, as evidenced by the - now unreadable - inscription on on the column.
It is about three-metres-high Tuscan-style sandstone column topped by a typical four-sided "lantern" and a metal cross on its top.
Year of creation: 1683
