CS: Strom je potomkem pradávného dubu, který zde podle povesti rostl od 13. století. Roku 1643 do nej uderil blesk a strom spálil. Ješte téhož roku byl vybrán a posvecen stom, který jej nahradil. Od roku 1835 byl na kmeni zavešen obraz svatého Václava, který dal svatohorskému dubu jeho nynejší jméno. Roku 1987 byl vykotlaný kmen obepnut kovovými obrucemi. Roku 2004 byl dub vyhlášen památným stromem.
