Plague columns are memorials that commemorate the time of the plague or were donated as thanks for its extinction.
Plague columns usually represent the Holy Trinity, the Mother of God or other plague saints such as St. Rosalia, Sebastian or Rochus. There are also so-called plague crosses. Plague columns were also popularly called "Holy Columns".

The Renaissance palace was rebuilt in the Baroque style before 1707. Here G. Casanova (yes! THE Casanova!) Worked as a librarian for 13 years and published most of his works from here. - The castle church is from 1722, the plague column from 1749-60.
