Pock. The column reminds of the vow that Emperor Ferdinand III made when Vienna was endangered by a Swedish invasion. Emperor Leopold I decided to substitute the stony Mary´s Column for a bronze one and is said to have laid the cornerstone of the pedestal himself. The execution was entrusted to the imperial & royal plasterworker Balthasar Herold. In 1667, Emperor Leopold I gave the original Mary´s Column, made of stone, to Count Georg Ludwig of Sinzendorf. The Count then had the column taken to Wernstein and erected on the banks of the River Inn.
