Column shrine in Dolní Dvory, Sacred column shrine in Dolní Dvory district of Jindřichov, Czech Republic.

The Column shrine in Dolní Dvory is a Baroque triangular column standing on a twice-stepped triangular base. A projecting cornice divides the shaft into three bands of reliefs: coats of arms with coverings below, a kneeling bearded man, Saint Christopher and a man with a staff, perhaps Saint Roch in the middle, and three Marian scenes above, with winged angel heads holding a sun disc. The lower part is granite, the rest sandstone.

The shrine was erected in 1689, as recorded by the letters WF on its base, which suggest the Cheb sculptor and stonemason Wilhelm Felssner as its author. In 1897 the regional researcher Alois John noted two local explanations for its construction: a plague epidemic that reached the area, or a farmer from Doubrava who was badly injured at the spot while his farm burned. It has been protected as a cultural monument since 1963.

The shrine's Czech name, boží muka, means "God's torments" and refers to the Passion of Christ. Local explanations recorded in 1897 by the Cheb researcher Alois John link its building either to a plague epidemic that reached the area or to a farmer from Doubrava who was badly injured here while his farm burned. The reliefs show Saint Christopher and a bearded kneeling man, perhaps Saint Roch.

The shrine stands on the boundary between the Dolní Dvory and Chocovice cadastral areas, about 60 m from the Jindřichov u Tršnic line, so it is reached from the field edge rather than the village street. It is a granite and sandstone column, and a 2003 inspection found the top missing and the surface partly covered with moss.

The letters WF on the base point to the Cheb sculptor and stonemason Wilhelm Felssner as the author of the 1689 work. Local tradition, recorded by the regional researcher Alois John in 1897, gives two explanations for its building: a plague epidemic that reached the area, or a farmer from Doubrava who was badly injured here while his farm burned.
