    The Plague Column is a reminder and memory of the plague that broke out in Trenčín in 1710. The Plague Column was built in 1712 at the initiative of Count Mikuláš Ilešházyi. The work was probably created by the Viennese master masons, who were then working in the city on the reconstruction of the Jesuit church (today the Piarist church).

    In 2017 there were construction activities in September. That's why the picture with the two highlights together.
    "The plague column was erected in the middle of the square in 1712 to commemorate the plague epidemic that struck Trenčín in 1710. In the spirit of the Baroque period, it was built by the Viennese stonemasons after the suggestion of the Trentino and Liptov hereditary chief Nikolaus Ileshazy had worked on the renewal of the Piarist church.
