Depicted sandstone Baroque statue of St. Adalbert (Sv. Vojtech) decorates northern facade of St. Lawrence Church (kostel Sv. Vavrince) at Petrín Hill in Prague.

The statue, erected in 1756, is work of Baroque Czech sculptor Jan Josef Lederer (1719-1778).

St. Adalbert (ca. 956 – April 23, 997), a bishop of Prague and a missionary, was martyred in his efforts to convert the Baltic Prussians. He was later made the patron saint of Bohemia, Poland, Hungary and Prussia. Adalbert was born into a noble Czech family of Prince Slavník and his wife Strezislava in Libice nad Cidlinou, Bohemia.
