The Marian column was erected in 1681 by the city council as a thank you for the end of the plague epidemic.

The plague column stands on a corner of the square, diagonally across from the city's tourist information center (Kaiserhaus). It dates back to the 17th century and was built to protect the city from the plague. The plague column has a baroque replica of the Pilsen Madonna on top.

When the plague in Pilsen subsided, the city fathers erected the 14 m high Marian Column (“Plague Column”) in gratitude in 1681. At the feet of the Pilsen Madonna by Christian Widmann and Jan Mejdlík stand other saints.

After the end of the plague, the pillar was erected by the city fathers as a thank you. Other saints are depicted in the lower part of the monument.
