The partially restored post mile column from 1724 stands on Bahnhofstrasse. The letters A and R and the coat of arms on it refer to Friedrich August, known as the Strong, Elector of Saxony (1694-1733) and King of Poland (1697-1733). Parts of the original post mile column are exhibited in the town hall.
