Group of figures representing the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity Column in Leithaprodersdorf was erected in 1899 and is one of the region’s historic wayside shrines. It was donated by Franta Luka (born 1832) and Anna (born 1830), a married couple from Steinbrunn. The donor was a successful merchant who had a total of around 30 wayside shrines erected during his business trips along the Sopron–Güns–Wiener Neustadt–Bratislava route. The column in Leithaprodersdorf is part of this network of small religious monuments, which can be understood both as an expression of personal piety and as a visible reference to the trade connections of the time. Today, the Trinity Column is preserved as a local cultural asset and is part of the regional Kreuz- & Quer-Weg (Cross & Crossroads Trail).
