Jewel of Eisenstadt's main street

The Plague Column was erected in 1713 as a column of honor for the Holy Trinity and the crowned Queen of Heaven, Mary. After Prince Paul I Esterházy died of the plague in March 1713, the royal family donated this magnificent baroque plague column in memory of him and to end the plague in the "Royal Freystatt Eysenstatt". The Trinity group is located on a mighty Corinthian capital, which is complemented by a sculptural depiction of the coronation of Mary.

Beautiful little chapel with seating right next to it, quiet place.

Great view of the city all the way to Lake Neusiedl.

The Mother of God depicted and venerated here is that of Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by many people every year, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Mother of God has become widespread - not only in France - and Lourdes chapels and grottos have been built by believers everywhere. The ecclesiastical memorial day "Our Lady in Lourdes" is February 11th, this is the anniversary of the Apparition of the Virgin Mary (1858), when Our Lady appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto very close to Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of just 35. She was canonized by Pope Pius XI on December 8, 1933 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary). The Day of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.

The Plague Column was built in 1713 as a column of honor for the Holy Trinity and the crowned Queen of Heaven, Mary. As a thank you that the plague epidemic of 1713 was over, the “Royal Freystatt Eysenstatt” had this column erected in the heart of the city, on today's main square. On the base are the figures of St. Roch, Sebastian, Kajetan, John of Nepomuk and St. Recognize Rosalia. Above it there is a cartouche with the city's coat of arms. On the capital of the slender Corinthian column you can see the coronation of Mary with the floating Holy Spirit.

The forecourt is always well attended, the huge castle is atmospheric here, you should definitely visit the interior area, and the park at the back is also great for taking a stroll.
