The Herzogenburg Column is a Baroque wayside shrine in Pöchlarn and is listed as a protected small monument in the region. It is located on Wiener Straße and was erected in the second half of the 17th century. There is evidence of it at its current location dating back to at least the late 18th century, underscoring its long-standing presence in the townscape. The column stands on a polygonal base adorned with relief depictions of saints. Among the figures depicted is St. John of Nepomuk, who is frequently found on such monuments in Central Europe. The structure corresponds to the typical appearance of Baroque wayside shrines, which served both artistic and religious functions. The upper end of the column is crowned by an impressive group of figures. It depicts a crowned figure of the Virgin Mary holding the body of Christ in her lap—a so-called Pietà.
