St. Anne's Column
St. Anne's Column, Victory column in Maria-Theresien-Straße, Austria
The marble column stands 42 meters tall along Maria-Theresien-Straße with a statue of Mary crowning its top. Four saint figures form its base and dominate the appearance of this central square.
Built in 1703 by sculptor Cristoforo Benedetti, the column commemorates the departure of Bavarian troops from Tyrol during the War of Spanish Succession. This red Kramsach marble monument has remained a landmark throughout the following centuries.
The four saints at the base, representing Saint Anne, Saint Cassian, Saint Vigilius, and Saint George of Tyrol, reflect the region's spiritual protectors. Their presence shapes how locals and visitors understand the square's role as a spiritual gathering place.
The column sits in the center of Maria-Theresien-Straße in a pedestrian area, making it easily accessible on foot from most parts of the city. The original statues are preserved at the Altes Landhaus museum, as the figures you see are later replacements.
The monument is crafted from red Kramsach marble, a distinctive regional material that gives the column a warm, luminous appearance. The figures were replaced in 1958 and again in 2009 to protect the original works from weathering and pollution damage.
