Holy Trinity Column in Sopron, Baroque memorial column in Fő tér, Sopron, Hungary.

The Holy Trinity Column features sculptures arranged on a triple pedestal with intricate decorative garlands and religious figures on multiple levels.

Built in 1701 following a plague epidemic, this monument resulted from a collaboration between Count Lipót Kollonich and local residents of different religious backgrounds.

The column incorporates statues of saints connected to the Thököly-Löwenburg families, demonstrating the influence of local noble patronage in religious art.

The monument stands in the center of Sopron's main square, with stone pathways and steps surrounding the structure limiting wheelchair accessibility.

This spiral column structure ranks among Hungary's first outdoor column monuments, combining religious symbolism with architectural elements similar to St Peter's Basilica.
