[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Fountain and the Plague Column also called the Trinity Column in the medium of Graben Street, Karlovy Vary. Léopold 1st erected it as a sign of gratitude at the end of the epidemic in 1679.

The Baroque pillar of Trinity by the sculptor Josef Oswald was erected in 1716 in order to thank the Lord because the plague epidemic, that was ravaging Czech lands at the time, did not touch Karlovy Vary
