The earthquake in Zagreb that occurred on November 9, 1880 caused severe damage to the cathedral and stopped many clocks in Zagreb. The cathedral clock stopped at 7 hours, 3 minutes and 3 seconds. After the earthquake, 150 stonemasens worked on the reconstruction of the cathedral, which was completed in 1901. This column was new at the tie. Unfortunately, adverse atmospheric conditions eroded the stone over the decades. The second renovation began in 1990, Each eroded and damaged stone was taken out and replaced by a new one, carved after the original.
