    Marian or Plague Column was built in 1710 on the main square. It consists of a column on which stands the statue of Maria Immaculata. It is surrounded by six statues of Saints Florian, Sebastian, Joseph, John Nepomuk, Rochus and Anthony of Padua. The pillar was built by the citizens of Bruck and was intended to reconcile God and keep away the "plague of God" fire, plague and flood.

    In order to reconcile with God and avert plague, fire and floods from the city, the citizens had the Marian Column built on Bruck's main square in 1710.

    It also served as a starting point for pilgrimages. In the middle stands the baroque statue of Maria Immaculata by Josef Wolff on a smooth shaft and the city coat of arms is on the base.

    The statues of the six saints Florian, Sebastian, Joseph, Johann Nepomuk, Rochus and Antonius, to the right and left of the column, come from the Bruck sculptor Ignaz Marxer.
