Kreuzberg Saffig
Saffig
To this day, processions lead up to the Easter time of penance, past the "Seven Sorrows of Mary".
The approximately three-meter-high tuff picture canes were donated by a Saffiger couple in 1804.
On the summit there is a hall that is only partially closed on the rear wall and rests on four Doric columns with a high base.
The building, which dates back to the time of the count, is covered by a roof in the form of a flat slate dome.
In earlier times the vault was painted.
Up until the 1950s, the baroque crucifix that now hangs in the chancel of the new parish church was up here.
