The stone pillar in the shape of a column dates from 1766, in the past it was used to punish minor offenses. The accused was deprived of his liberty for a short period of time by being tied to the prairie and subjected to public disgrace. The reason for the punishment (theft, defamation) was announced in the text on the table, which was hung on the offender's neck. Stupavský pranier is one of the four preserved cultural monuments of this kind in the Bratislava region.
