The Great Plague Column was erected in 1713 after the last great year of the plague by Elias Hügel, the respected court stonemason from Kaisersteinbruch. The Holy Trinity in the manner of Albrecht Dürer, enthroned on a high column, is surrounded by the statues of the plague saints Johannes Nepomuk, Rochus, Rosalia (shown resting with a cross) and Sebastian.
For a long time, this castle ruin was thought to be a Roman building. Built around 1400, the structure served as the residence of several Hungarian queens who stayed here temporarily to hunt. The Tabor was finally destroyed when it was conquered by the Kurucs in 1708. The earliest views from the 18th century already show a ruin enthroned on a broad earthen rampart. The area around the Tabor, which had long been used as pasture land, was planted with trees and shrubs around 1900 and named "Karolinenpark" (Caroline Park) after the wealthy donor of the planting, Karoline Stöckl.
Small, square building with saddle roof and curved gables. Stone figure of St. Florian, 18th c.
