Holy Trinity column in Kynšperk nad Ohří, Baroque religious column in Kynšperk nad Ohří, Czech Republic

The Holy Trinity column in Kynšperk nad Ohří is a Baroque sandstone sculpture by Cheb sculptor Wilhelm Felsner, dated 1700. It stands on a stepped square base on the upper part of náměstí Míru, with a Corinthian column topped by a two-sided Holy Trinity group in the Gnadenstuhl composition, where God the Father shelters the Son under his cloak. A grey-yellow granite balustrade with balusters surrounds it; the base, shaft and statues are fine- to medium-grained sandstone.

The column was erected in 1700, as recorded by the inscription MDCC on its base, as a votive offering by the burghers of Kynšperk nad Ohří in thanks for the town being spared from plague. Its author was the Cheb sculptor Wilhelm Felsner. After decades of weathering, the balustrade was dismantled and repaired in 1988–1990, and the last restoration took place in November 2000.

The German inscription on the base reads, in Czech translation, "To the honour of the Holy Trinity this column was erected in the year 1700". Below it is a relief of the crown of thorns, with an acanthus scroll on the sides and a decorative figural relief on the back. The column was a votive offering by the townspeople of Kynšperk for the town being spared from plague.

The monument sits in the town center and is easily reached on foot from the main square. Visit during daylight hours to see the carved details clearly.

The halo rays on the top group were made in 2001 from profiled copper sheet and gilded with gold leaf, following period photographs. The gilded rays replaced lost elements of the Trinity group, which shows God the Father sheltering the Son under his cloak.
