Depicted Baroque Marian column crowned by a sandstone statue of Immaculata, decorates the main public space of Pardubice Old Town - Pernstein Square (Pernštýnské námestí).
The Marian column was erected as a thanksgivig after plague epidemy, which fortunately missed Pardubice, in 1698. The slender Corinthian-type column stands on tiered richly decorated pedestal with balustrade and national patron saints statues. The pedestal and statues were added by sculptor Jakub Teplý in 1777.
