Greiter wayside shrine

Description

The Greiter wayside shrine dates back to Tyrol’s last major plague outbreak, from 1634 to 1636. The Greiterhof farm once stood nearby but was later destroyed by fire. During processions, the third Gospel was traditionally read at the shrine. Today, an image of the Virgin Mary from the thirteenth station adorns its interior. It was restored by Father Konrad Walder, who was born in Welsberg.
