Mariensäule, Maria column in Wernstein am Inn, Austria.
The granite memorial stands 17 meters tall and features a statue of the Virgin Mary surrounded by four decorative cherubs at its base.
Emperor Ferdinand III commissioned the column in 1645 as gratitude for protecting Vienna during the Thirty Years War against Swedish forces.
The monument represents Catholic traditions through its architectural elements and serves as a gathering point for religious celebrations throughout the year.
The Maria Column sits near the Inn River below Wernstein Castle, offering visitors direct access through the town's main pathways.
The column underwent a complete restoration in 1990 by Franz Gyolcs and Klaus Wedenig, who documented each step of the preservation process.
