Spinnerin am Kreuz, Gothic wayside shrine in Wiener Neustadt, Austria.

The sandstone column reaches 21 meters in height, featuring intricate Gothic details, religious figures, and sacred scenes across five distinct zones.

Michael Knab constructed this architectural masterpiece between 1382 and 1384, funded by Wiener Neustadt mayor Wolfhart von Schwarzensee.

The monument displays religious art through statues of saints, prophet figures, and scenes from the Passion, crowned by the Virgin Mary representation.

The shrine stands in Walter-von-der-Vogelweide Park near the city cemetery, with numerous historical sandstone pieces exhibited in the Stadtmuseum.

Three statues of saints decorate the base level, while the third zone presents busts of both the benefactor and artist with their wives.
