The basilisk, Schönlaterngasse 7. According to a myth, on 26 June 1212, the servant of a baker discovered a basilisk at the bottom of the well in the courtyard. He destroyed it by holding a mirror to it (looking into its eyes was known to be fatal). The basilisk exploded. Now I know where JK got her ideas from. - Basilisk

A clever installation in a mining town. Glückau' - Pestsäule in Leoben
Leoben had to fight plague in 1347, 1352 and 1716. In 1716 the column was erected in the town square. Maybe it helped as there has been no more plague since :-) The Holy Trinity at the top with St. Barbara, St. Xaver, St. Sebastian on the left and St. Rochus, St. Jakob and St. Florian on the right.
