The Marian Columns were built in Bohemia and Moravia often as commemorative columns, as a reminder of the tragic events, especially the wars and the plague epidemics.

The chronogram is located on the sandstone pedestal of Marian column. The Roman numerals of chronograms are larger than the other letters and are not color-coded from the rest of the text.


The year 1795 from the chronograms referring to erection of the column.

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

Rane klasicistní práce, datovaná r. 1795. Na dvou kamenných stupních je postaven hranolový sokl s patkou a profilovanou rímsou, s obdélnými rámci s ctvrtkruhovými výrezy na hranách a s nápisem. Ze soklu se zvedá sloup s hranolovou patkou a ionizující hlavicí. Na nem je postavena socha Panny Marie stojící na zemekouli nesené ctyrmi okrídlenými hlavickami andílku. Panna Marie má dlouhé roucho s pláštem s uzlem vpredu, sepjaté ruce má v orodujícím gestu pozvednuté, rozpuštené vlasy a hlavu zvednutou vzhuru s pohledem upreným do nebes. Vpredu na sloupu zapušteno kovové raménko s lucernou.
