The 20 metre high Baroque Trinity Column, or Dreifaltigkeitssäule, in the Hauptplatz, was completed in 1723. The column is made of white marble from Salzburg by the Sebastian Stumpfegger following the design of architect Antonio Beduzzi. The column has three inscriptions which announce the dedication of the column to the Holy Trinity by the guilds, the Emperor and the people of Linz in gratitude for deliverance from the dangers of war, fire and plague. The column is also flanked by the patron saints Sebastian, Florian and Carlo Borromeo
