Boží muka zajímavého designu (lucerna je zakoncena šišticí, nikolv obvyklou koulí), podobná dalším takovým mukám v této cásti Vysociny. Jsou památkove chránená.

Kamenná boží muka se v Evrope objevují v gotice, vrcholu svého rozšírení dosáhla v baroku. Predstavují sloup, u kterého byl pred svým ukrižováním pripoután a bicován Ježíš Kristus. Nekdy bývají proto dekorována symboly Kristova utrpení (dutky, kopí, hreby a pod.). Vztycována byla i jako podekování za záchranu pri nemocech a neštestích. V krajine casto predstavovala výrazný orientacní bod na okrajích obci, vrcholcích pahorku ci na križovatkách cest.
