On the staircase, with a 3.5x3.5 m ground plan, there is a massive pedestal with a ledge, a tall column with a corinth head that carries a globe with figures of the Holy Trinity. The statue was placed after a terrible plague wound on August 8, 1680 at the site where Braun's statue of the Holy Trinity stands today.

Na schodišti o pudorysu 3,5x3,5 m je masivní sokl s rímsou, na ní je vysoký sloup s korinstkou hlavicí, která nese zemekouli s figurami Nejsvetejší Trojice. Socha byla umístena po strašlivé morové ráne 8.8.1680 na míste, kde dnes stojí Braunova socha Nejsvetejší Trojice..
