EN: This sandstone cross stands on Bruggweg in Arlesheim.

It stands on a large stone base with engraved religious symbols on the front and is about four meters high including the base. It has a realistically designed large statue of Jesus. The cross is protected from rain by a metal gable and secured at the back with metal braces.

Unfortunately, I could not determine a year, but it looks quite old.
