The Plague Column (Slovene: Kužno znamenje) is a monument at Main Square (Glavni trg) of the city of Maribor, northeastern Slovenia, erected by "pious burghers" in gratitude for the end of a 1680 plague epidemic that had claimed a third of the city's population. The original monument was built in 1681. The current one is a 1743 replacement, the first work by the German sculptor in Maribor. It is considered his most monumental work, and one of the best examples of baroque art in Slovenia. The monument was later surrounded by an ornamental stone fence.

  • La Colonne de la peste (slovène : Kužno znamenje) est un monument sur la place principale (Glavni trg) de la ville de Maribor, au nord-est de la Slovénie, érigée par des « pieux bourgeois » en commémoration de la fin de l'épidémie de peste de 1680 qui a tué un tiers de la population de la ville. Le monument d'origine est construit en 1681. La sculpture actuelle est un remplacement fait en 1743, c'est la première œuvre du sculpteur allemand Joseph Straub à Maribor. Elle est considérée comme son œuvre la plus monumentale et l'un des meilleurs exemples d'art baroque en Slovénie. La colonne est entièrement faite de marbre blanc. Elle se compose d'un socle rectangulaire orné qui supporte une colonne corinthienne portant une statue dorée de la Vierge Marie, debout sur la lune, couronnée de douze étoiles (en référence à Apocalypse 12:1). À sa base, la colonne est entourée de six saints que les citadins prient et dont ils demandent l'intercession: * Saint François d'Assise * Saint Sébastien * Saint Jacques * Saint Antoine de Padoue * Saint Roch * Saint François Xavier. Le monument a ensuite été entouré d'une clôture en pierre ornementale. (fr)

It is considered his most monumental work, and one of the best examples of baroque art in Slovenia. The column is made entirely of white marble, and consists of an ornate rectangular pedestal that supports a Corinthian column bearing a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary, crowned with twelve stars and standing on the moon (a reference to Revelation 12:1). At its base, the column is surrounded by six saints, to which the townspeople prayed for intercession: * St. Francis of Assissi * St. Sebastian * St. James * St. Anthony of Padua * St. Roch * St. Francis Xavier The monument was later surrounded by an ornamental stone fence.
