The history of the town is closely linked with the Košumberk castle. At the end of the Middle Ages, Luže was part of the manor of lords of Chlum and Košumberk, later Slavatas from Chlum and Košumberk. After the establishment of Czechoslovak republic, Luže became a spa town.

The column originates from 1711. The statue stands on a sandstone column 6 metres high. The column is placed on a square stone base, up to which 6 steps lead from all sides.
