St. John of Nepomuk - Inzlingen, BW, Germany - Statues of Religious Figures on Waymarking.com

EN: The late Baroque Nepomuk statue is located south of the bridge to Inzlingen moated castle on the banks of the pond, which serves as a moat. The saint stands on a pedestal which is richly decorated.

The statue was created in 1731 by Johann Ladner (1707-1779).

From: Wikipedia: "John of Nepomuk (or John Nepomucene) (Czech: Jan Nepomucký) (c. 1345 – March 20, 1393) is a national saint of Bohemia, 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 and drowning."
