EN: This white stone cross with a black metal figure stands in Neu-Nuglar on the road to Liestal. The cross is dated 1854 twice, and was donated by someone named Salatin. The cross is not, as usual, horizontal to the road, but is, on the border of the traditionally Catholic canton Solothurn, oriented to the traditionally reformed Basel-Land.

The cross is in excellent condition and has been recently renovated.
