Column with Status of the Holy Trinity

The triangular High Baroque column is one of the most important sculptures in West Bohemia and a distinctive artistic dominant of the square. In 1717-1719 it was commissioned by the city as a thank you for averting the plague. The sculptor is Johann Karl Stilp from Cheb. On the triangular pedestal stands statues of St. Wenceslas, St. Florian, St. John the Baptist, Immaculata, St. John of Nepomuk and St. Sebastien. There are three sculptures on the molded ledge; Archangels Michael, Rafael and Gabriel. At the top of the triangular pillar is a Holy Trinity with a cross and sculpture a star.
