As you walk around Ulmen Castle you will come across several masonry pillars with a white image, 3D engraved, of the cross of Jesus.
They are all numbered with roman numerals and all have a metal cross on top..

"Ulmen Castle, locally known as Burg Ulmen or the Ulmener Burgen, lies in the town with the same name, in the Rhineland-Palatinate region in Germany.
The site is mostly called Ulmener Burgen (so, Ulmen Castles) because there used to be two castles here; an upper and a lower one. The lower one, however, has completely disappeared.
Ulmen Castle was first mentioned in 1074 but is supposed to have been built around the year 1000. It is situated on top of a ridge around the Ulmener Maar. This lake is actually an ancient volcano crater and the ridge is the embankment of tuff, formed from the erupted material of the former volcano."
