Spinnerin am Kreuz, Gothic wayside shrine in Favoriten district, Vienna, Austria.
The stone tower features an octagonal cross-shaped floor plan and displays detailed sculptures depicting Crucifixion scenes on its exterior walls.
Built in 1375 by stonemason Michael Knab, the shrine underwent reconstruction in 1451 by Hans Puchsbaum after its destruction in 1446.
The monument name originates from a merchant's wife who spun wool daily at this location while waiting for her husband's return from crusades.
The shrine stands at coordinates 48.1711 latitude and 16.3506 longitude, in front of George Washington Hof housing complex on Triesterstrasse 52.
Before the current limestone structure, a wooden column marked this location, documented in manuscripts dating back to 1296.
