The monument to Maria Theresa rises almost 20 meters. The Empress greets her people from a bird's eye view. She is dressed in a lush dress, holding a scroll and a scepter. Just below the Empress are four figures who embody her virtues: strength, wisdom, justice and compassion. The Empress is surrounded on four sides by prominent generals of the time: Count Ludwig Khevenhuller, Count Leopold Down, Ernst Laudon and Count Otto Ferdinand. Their horses are beating their hooves and seemingly waiting for new orders that will guide them to feats in the glory of the fatherland.
