St. Mary's Column towers over the city from the highest point of the sandstone cliffs on the west side of the Moselle. A crowned statue of St. Mary stands on a pillar 40 m (130 ft) high.
Erected with donations from Trier citizens, it was dedicated in 1866, commemorating the declaration by the Catholic Church of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception.
