        Marian column or plague column. It was erected in 1680 by the people of Horn in gratitude for their defense against the plague. The plague: "scourge of the angry deity".

        Renovated in 1832 on the occasion of the cholera epidemic.

        In 1866, another cholera epidemic occurred when the Prussian army passed through.

        In 1928, the column was erected to commemorate those who died in World War I.

        Built by master stonemason Josef Macho from Engelbrechts in 1680. Renovated in 1739, 1796 and 1834.

        In 1963, it was dismantled and moved to its current location.
