Kamenný kříž, Stone cross in Sivice, Czech Republic.
The Kamenný kříž is a late-Baroque sandstone crucifix from 1772 at the southern edge of Sivice, by road III/3839 toward Tvarožná, next to a memorial stone. Its square base carries a pedestal with volute wings and a framed Latin inscription, topped by a profiled cornice, a pylon with reliefs of the Arma Christi, and a single-armed cross bearing the crucified Christ.
The late-Baroque sandstone cross dates from 1772, when Martin Hůla had it erected at the southern edge of Sivice on the site of an earlier wooden cross, in honour of Ondřej Zavřel, a participant in the peasant revolts. Its pedestal bears a Latin inscription with the year 1772 on the rear face. It is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
The cross was erected in 1772 by Martin Hůla on the site of a wooden cross, in honour of Ondřej Zavřel, a participant in peasant revolts. Its front inscription reads "FIG VRAHAC / FVNDATA EST / A MARTIN CHVLA / ET /+ / CONSORTE SVA"; the rear, now barely legible, names Iohan Burhal and the year 1772. The sandstone base with volute wings carries a single-armed crucifix with reliefs of the Arma Christi on the pylon.
The cross stands right along the main road through Sivice, making it easy to reach on foot. It is a simple stop to view the details up close without needing to plan a longer visit.
