Maria Column in Radonice, Religious monument in Radonice, Czech Republic.

Maria Column in Radonice is a religious monument featuring sculpted figures of the Virgin Mary and saints on a stone base located in the town center. The vertical composition displays multiple religious figures carved with attention to detail from the period of its creation.

A statue of the Virgin Mary stood here before 1665, when Radonice belonged to Jan Šebestián of Pöttingen. A gale damaged it in 1814 and it was removed in 1818. A first public collection for a new Marian column was announced in 1813, but only mayor Josef Eckert's second collection and a permit obtained in 1846 allowed building. The Litoměřice bishop Augustin Bartoloměj Hille consecrated the finished column on 1 August 1847.

The square's Marian column replaced an older Virgin Mary statue from before 1665, damaged by a windstorm in 1814 and removed in 1818. A public collection for a new column was announced in 1813; after three decades of delay, mayor Josef Eckert launched another collection and the town obtained building permission in 1846. Litoměřice bishop Augustin Bartoloměj Hille consecrated the finished column on 1 August 1847.

The monument sits in the center of Radonice and is easily accessible on foot as it occupies the main public square. You can view it any time since it stands outdoors and requires no admission or special arrangements.

The column displays an unusual stacking of multiple saint figures in a vertical arrangement that stands out among similar monuments in the region. This particular composition style was less common in Bohemia than in other parts of Central Europe.
