Valuable Baroque sculptural group with St. John of Nepomuk, St. Florian and St. Barbara (sousoší se Sv. Janem Nepomuckým, Sv. Floriánem s Sv. Barborou), work of famous Jelinek of Kosmonosy workshop, is located in close proximity to Chateau Mnichovo Hradište.
The sandstone statuary, with three above-life size statues of three saints, was sculpted by Alexander Jelínek around 1730. Statues of saints stand on the ramp, to which leads two broad stone steps. Three pedestals with saints stautes are embedded into a simple low wall of stone blocks which is opened slightly northwards toward the road. In the central axis of the ramp is situated the biggest tiered prism pedestal atoped by St. John of Nepomuk. Statues of two angels with wings are at both pedestal' sides in its lower tier.
Statues of two other saints stand alone on their pedestals at the edges of the ramp, St. Barbara on the right side and St. Florian on the left side.
