Trinity Column, a column as a symbol of thanksgiving.

In 1679, during a time of suffering and trials caused by the devastating plague, the devout inhabitants of Mistelbach expressed their deep faith and gratitude to Almighty God. They vowed to erect a stone memorial column in the main square to express their gratitude for the protection they had received, despite facing many losses. This sacred promise was fulfilled on September 10, 1680, when the venerable Superior of the Barnabite Monastery, Don Josef Festa, solemnly laid the foundation stone for the Trinity Column. Just two months later, on November 13, 1680, the column was consecrated in a festive ceremony.

The centuries brought changes, and at the end of the 19th century, a careful restoration of this important memorial column was necessary. The costly work, which cost 10,786 crowns, was made possible by generous donations from the public. On Trinity Sunday, June 5, 1898, the restored column once again shone in its splendid light and was ceremoniously blessed.

Fidelity to faith and tradition was also evident in the further restorations carried out in 1937 and 1967. Finally, under the direction of Mayor Dr. Alfred Pohl, a comprehensive renovation was carried out in 2018 and 2019. This valuable work included the complete reconstruction of the substructure, the balustrade, and the various artistic sculptures, including the musical angels and the Saints Roch, Sebastian, Charles Borromeo, and Benno. Thus, the Holy Trinity Column remains not only a symbol of faith, but also a living testimony to the community's connection to its history and its faith in God.
