The Heunen columns, also known as the Heune columns, are round columns made of sandstone, which were originally intended for the reconstruction of the Willigis Cathedral in Mainz, which burned down in 1009. They were probably completed in the 11th century out of anticipatory business acumen in a quarry in the Bullau Mountains near Miltenberg even before the order was placed. However, the client probably opted for other supports, so that the round columns were never needed. There are said to have been 42 of the columns at one time, in the 18th century there were still 14, around 1960 only eight are known.
