The Baroque pillar with a statue of the Immaculate Virgin Mary with the Baby Jesus from 1717 by Jan Jirí Šlanzovský, which was built at his own expense by parish priest Václav Pecený. The sculpture was repaired in 1874 at the expense of the landowner Václav Hamták from Limuz, and then in 1897 the statue was repaired and gilded on the occasion of the dedication ceremony (held on 18 July) of the newly ordained priest Václav Pokorný, the son of the local head teacher. The complete restoration of the monument and the addition of missing parts was carried out in 2012 by sculptor Martin Kulhánek.
