Plague Column of the Virgin Mary
Address: Náměstí Míru, 744 01 Frenštát pod Radhoštěm
The Plague Column can be found on the western side of Peace Square. On its top is an early Baroque sculpture dating from 1686. The column of simple non-classical shapes is an urban element forming part of the sculptural decoration of the square. On a high prismatic base, carried by four angels, is a column with a statue of the Virgin Mary and Child Jesus. A Madonna on a crescent moon with the attributes of a scepter, a crown and a circle of stars is holding a baby Jesus with an apple in her left hand.
