The Annasäule (St. Anne's Column) is a 13-metre Baroque column standing at the centre of Maria-Theresien-Straße. Crowned by a statue of the Virgin Mary, its base features statues of Saints Anne, George, Vigilius, and Kassian.
During the War of the Spanish Succession, Bavarian forces invaded Tyrol in 1703. The Tyrolean militia expelled them on St. Anne's Day, 26 July. The column was erected three years later in gratitude.
