Holy Trinity Column in Karlovy Vary
Holy Trinity Column in Karlovy Vary, Baroque sandstone column in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
The Holy Trinity Column rises 9 meters high and displays intricate sculptures representing religious figures and saints carved from regional sandstone materials.
The column was constructed in 1716 during a period when plague columns emerged throughout Central Europe as symbols of protection against epidemics.
The monument serves as a focal point for religious ceremonies and reflects the strong Catholic traditions that shaped the architectural landscape of Karlovy Vary.
The column stands in a central location accessible to visitors throughout the year, with numerous cafes and restaurants located within walking distance.
The structure incorporates detailed carvings by sculptor Oswald Josef Wenda, demonstrating the technical skill of 18th-century Czech craftsmen.
