Czech Republic Holy Trinity Column, Olomouc

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
It is a Baroque monument (Trinity column) that was built between 1716 and 1754. The main purpose was to celebrate the Catholic Church and faith, partly caused by a feeling of gratitude for ending a plague, which struck Moravia (now in the Czech Republic) between 1713 and 1715.  The column was also understood to be an expression of local patriotism since all artists and master craftsmen working on this monument were Olomouc citizens, and almost all depicted saints were connected with the city of Olomouc in some way.

It is the biggest Baroque sculptural group in the Czech Republic. In 2000 it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as "one of the most exceptional examples of the apogee of central European Baroque artistic expression".

Photography Tips

Olomouc is a chamber city, so there are not so many people during a day but its always better to be there early in the morning or late evening .
