"This path, like many others, once served as a connecting route across the Leitha Mountains. The paths were used in every season, and so it could happen that people lost their way and died in bad weather or during harsh winters. According to the story, a Jewish traveler met his end here. He was found frozen to death leaning against a now-fallen linden tree that served as a border tree. Since then, the place has been called 'Zum Juden'."

The Plague Column was erected in 1713 as a column of honor for the Holy Trinity and the crowned Queen of Heaven, Mary. After Prince Paul I Esterházy died of the plague in March 1713, the royal family donated this magnificent baroque plague column in memory of him and to end the plague in the "Royal Freystatt Eysenstatt". The Trinity group is located on a mighty Corinthian capital, which is complemented by a sculptural depiction of the coronation of Mary.
