Overview
Located in the Favoriten district of Vienna, the Marien Statue stands as a testament to faith and gratitude. This place of worship and tourist attraction offers a serene escape within the bustling city.The statue's origins trace back to the 17th century when Emperor Ferdinand III vowed to erect a monument to the Virgin Mary if Vienna was spared from devastation during the Thirty Years' War. When the Swedish forces withdrew, the Emperor fulfilled his promise, commissioning the Mariensäule as a symbol of gratitude and divine protection. The initial wooden column, erected in 1647, was later replaced by the current marble structure between 1664 and 1667.The Mariensäule (Marian column) refers to a column topped by a representation of the Virgin Mary, usually erected in gratitude by a monarch or municipal authority for some significant event. The statue of the Virgin Mary stands on top above a speared dragon. Around the base of the plinth, figures represent heresy, plague, war and famine.
