The Baroque statue is dedicated to st. John of Nepomuk.
st. John of Nepomuk ...
... is a national saint of the Czech Republic, who was drowned in the Vltava river at the behest of Wenceslaus, King of the Romans and King of Bohemia. Later accounts state that he was the confessor of the queen of Bohemia and refused to divulge the secrets of the confessional. On the basis of this account, John of Nepomuk is considered the first martyr of the Seal of the Confessional, a patron against calumnies and, because of the manner of his death, a protector from floods.
The statue represents quality Stone sculptures from the middle of the 18th century. Urban sculpture has value because it is in a dominant position on top of a natural park Výhon.
