Wayside shrine To the Blood Sweating Savior

The saint's cottage "Zum Blutschwitzenden Heiland" in the Riemeske in Oberkirchen was built in 1843 by the Schmallenberg sculptor Kaspar Hamm (also called Floigen Kapser). In the following years he equipped it with the figures "Bloutschwitzender Heiland" and "Engel den Kelch überreichen". The two figures were removed in the early 1970s for security reasons and kept privately. In 1978, the chapel was transferred to the catholic parish of St. Georg Grafschaft as owner.In 1979, the present wooden sculpture "Blood-sweating Savior with chalice" was made by the sculptor Winkelmann from Günne at Möhnesee. In 2013 a still missing angel figure could be purchased.
