Column of the Virgin Mary Immaculate in Kutná Hora

Column of the Virgin Mary Immaculate in Kutná Hora, Baroque plague column in Kutná Hora, Czech Republic

The Column of the Virgin Mary Immaculate stands 16.6 m tall on Šultysova street, built of local shell limestone. Its upper part forms a cloud-like pylon with cherubs, crowned by a statue of the Immaculate Virgin. Four saints surround the middle section: Charles Borromeo, Sebastian, Roch and Francis Xavier.

The Jesuit sculptor František Baugut built the column between 1713 and 1715 as a memorial to the last major plague epidemic in the Czech lands, which killed 43 people in Kutná Hora in 1713. It stands in Šultysova street and is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

The column displays detailed relief sculptures depicting local mining activities, connecting the monument to the industrial heritage of Kutná Hora. These representations allow visitors to see the economic importance of mining in the city's past.

The monument retains its original structure in central Kutná Hora near St Barbara's Church and the Sedlec Ossuary. Its central location makes it easy to visit alongside other historic sites in the town.

The lowest tier carries statues of miners holding shields inscribed with texts referring to the saint above each of them; between these figures sit reliefs of St Rosalia, St John of Nepomuk and St Bernard of Clairvaux. The column is 16.6 m tall and built of local shell limestone.
