It was replaced there in the 1980s, because various churchgoers were disturbed by the modern design.
The Historische Werkgroep Grashoek (Historical Workgroup Grashoek) gives the cross on this spot a double meaning: "Both the sign of the cross in the traditional Christian sense, the faith that the pioneers professed", but it is also a symbol "for the crossroads around which the village was founded".
