The Boží muka (God's Torment) shrine at the upper end of Plešivec Square is a small monument in the form of a column with a chapel on top. It is intended to symbolize the column on which Jesus Christ was scourged. Simple stone columns of God's Torment like this one mostly date from the 14th century.

The city administration of Český Krumlov also wants to make this part of town attractive to tourists. It's still beautifully quiet and pleasant here. The synagogue and Schiele's studio are nearby.
