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 1705 from the chronograms referring to erection of the column.

The chronogram:
oi ChrIstI parens pro MaraskIana progenIe In terCeDe


The Baroque sculptural work from 1705 consists of a prismatic plinth with a Latin inscription, a column with a composite head and a statue of Our Lady of the Immaculata placed on it. The saint stands on a dragon, wearing a flowing cloak, her head surrounded by a halo of stars.
