Pillar inscription

The Immaculate Column in Unterlaa is a listed baroque Marian column . She stands at Johannesberg at Substation Vienna Southeast in the 10th  Vienna district favorites , district part Unterlaa , on a connecting road between Unterlaa and Maria Lanzendorf . Here is the goal of the annual supplication Tuesday processions before the feast of the Ascension of Christ .

Construction and history

The column was built in 1764 in place of a wayside shrine erected in 1662 . In 1994 a hunting chapel was built next to the column, which is dedicated to St.  Eustachius .

Above the four-sided stone pillar is a cuboid attachment with four relief fields. At the top of the top is a statue of Immaculate . Since the last careful renovation, the reliefs and the inscription pillars have returned to their original condition after they had been made almost unrecognizable by previous repairs and overpainting. The inscription on the pillar reads: "You should all remember here in eternal peace the founder and benefactor of the living and the dead 1662, IICN, HTM 1001 1764" .

On the relief fields you can almost certainly recognize John the Baptist , the patron saint of Unterlaa . The presumed depiction of Francis of Assisi on the obverse is hardly recognizable. The other two reliefs could represent a mount of olives and an angel.

The stone column was badly damaged by a lightning strike on August 4, 1827 and was rebuilt by the Neuburger family from Unterlaa.
