In the cholera year of 1831, the victims of the epidemic began to bury in the place that was in Pažit next to the wood warehouse. They exported only a few dead here, until they were forbidden to bury in the cemetery due to the proximity of the dwelling. That year, therefore, they established a cholera cemetery in a more distant place, where there is a cross from 1832. Even in the first cemetery, a cross was probably established, but probably only wooden. In 1930, the mayor Florián Zigo had a stone cross built instead. The founding inscription is carved directly into the body of the cross.

The founding inscription is carved directly into the body of the cross.

The place was later extended to the inner city of the village with a cross by expanding construction. It is in the garden of the house on Agatova Street.

The inscription on the cross is:

"In honor and praise of God
