The great black plague rocks
The surface of the Black Plague rock at the church once contained text about the destruction of local Livs by Swedish King Charles IX and by the Black Plague (the rock is on a spot where victims of the plague were buried, and the text has been erased over the course of time). The smallest rock on the top, which also used to have an inscription, has been brought here from the Pakalni homestead.
The great Black Plague rock, which has engraved text that can still be seen to a certain extent - it tells future generations about the local pastor who died from the plague, about how the parsonage was established at Sīkrags and then moved to Mazirbe. The rock is also a monument to six pastors of the nearby congregations. All the three stones tell about the horrors of the Black Plague in 1710, the texts have been engraved during the parson Peterson in 1711-1734.
