Drnholec is a market town in Breclav District, South Moravian Region.

===================================================================

V letech 1714 – 1715 zasáhla Drnholec jen okrajove epidemie moru. Z vdecnosti bylo zahájeno budování morového barokního mariánského sloupu, který byl dokoncen v roce 1718. Jeho autorem je trebícský sochar Štepán Pagan, jenž zhotovil obdobné sloupy i na jiných místech jižní Moravy (napr. Jaromerice 1716, Ivancice 1726, Hosteradice 1728). Za jeho nejvýraznejší práci se považuje práve morový sloup z Drnholce. Je zhotoven z lasturnatého vápence privezeného z Rakouska z oblasti Eggenburgu.
