In 1813, the memorial was built by Mrs. Anna Hostálová with her own cargo for the Marian hotdogs and their supporters. Originally located in the eastern part of the village near the crossroads of Českobrodská and U Konecná, where the monument of Milenia is now standing.

In the first half of the 1960s, there was an accident in which the pillar was damaged and the original statue destroyed. Sokl with the inscription and log of the column was restored by Josef Čihák from Lower Počernice and added to the top of the sandstone statue Immaculates, obtained from the lapidarium of the National Heritage Institute (locality Králik Processing Hedče).

Welcome! You are standing in front of a unique historical monument in Lower Počernice - a pillar with a statue of Our Lady. This classical monument, built from sandstone, is located at the office of the city and shows a beautiful combination of history and spirituality.
Let's look at its origin. In 1813, Mrs. Anna Hostálová, known for her Marian horlivost, built this monument at her expense. It was a gift for all the followers of the Virgin Mary and their devotion to this sacred person.
Take a look up at the smooth stick column that stands on the prism plinth. On this plinth you will find a dowry inscription which tells of his original purpose and the love of Mrs. Hostalková to the Marian worship.
Now notice the present statue of the Virgin Mary. This sandstone statue of Immaculates was not the first work of art in this place. In the first half of the 1960s, there was a car accident which damaged the pillar and destroyed the original statue. After this tragedy, the monument was restored thanks to the efforts of Josef Čihak, who placed a new statue on the top of the column.
The interesting thing is that this monument has undergone several transformations. After 1960, the column was repaired and moved to its current place at the Prague-Dolní Počernice office in 2017. The ceremonial revelation of the newly placed monument took place on 30 May of that year, a moment of joy and appreciation for the local community.
This column is not only a monument to architecture, but also to the courage and devotion of individuals who have tried to preserve its historical significance. Anna Hostálová and Josef Čihák are key personalities associated with this monument.
Let us remind ourselves that although this monument is relatively small, its history speaks of great importance to the people who lived here. I urge you to relax for a moment and think about how spiritual values can project into material monuments.
Thank you for your attentive listening. I hope this guide gave you a deeper insight into the history and importance of this beautiful local monument. If you have not yet seen some parts of the Lower Pupils, prepare for further discoveries!

Seasonal recommendations
In the spring the monument shines along with the awakening nature and the first flowers. The soft spring light gently highlights the details of the statue and the surrounding green makes it fresh. We recommend that you dress in layers so that you don't get caught by the variable air, and head for the morning dew when the atmosphere is purest.
The summer season brings rich green vegetation and sharp sun that creates deep shadows on the stone. For a comfortable tour, choose light clothing and heat protection. The best time is late nights, when the air is colder and the surroundings are more peaceful.
Autumn covers the pillar with golden leaves and frequent fog, giving the place a melancholy touch. It is advisable to carry a waterproof coat or umbrella for frequent collisions. Use the low autumn sun in the afternoon for the best views.
In winter, white snow and bare branches of trees act as a natural frame for this sacral structure. The air is freezing and crystal clear, highlighting the whiteness of the monument. Remember the warm shoes and gloves and plan your visit in the morning before the sun sets.
