The Plague Column of the Virgin Mary Immaculate in Kutná Hora

Plague Column in Kutná Hora (Template:Lang-cs), also known as Column of the Virgin Mary Immaculate (Template:Lang-cs), is located in Šultysova street in Kutná Hora in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It is protected as a cultural heritage.[1]

History

This baroque plague column was built by the Jesuit sculptor František Baugut. It originated between 1713 and 1715 as a commemoration of the contemporary plague which killed more than a thousand people. The column is decorated by the statue of the Virgin Mary Immaculate and Kutná Hora's typical labor themes (reliefs of miners).
