    On April 2, 1699, the mayor and archdeacon of Sokolov signed a contract with the Cheb sculptor Vilém Felsner (Wilhelm Fellsner) to build the column. The agreed price was 600 guilders, and the column was erected in 1701. A storm on January 17, 1955 tore down the top statue of the Virgin Mary and the statue shattered. Completely illogically and contrary to the iconography, it was replaced by a stone ball. In the years 1994-1996, the Marian column was restored. A copy of the statue of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, created by the sculptor Igor Kalina, was placed on the column.

      The Marian column was built in 1701. It is the central focus on the market.
