St. Sebastian, St. Adalbert and St. Florian - Utery, Czech Republic - Statues of Religious Figures on Waymarking.com

Utery town (Tuesday in English) was named after the day on which markets were held starting from the 13th century. Mining for gold began to decline in the late 13th century. The town was re-built after a fire at the end of the 17th century but retained its Medieval character. Houses lining the square preserved their Gothic cores, adapted in Renaissance or Baroque styles. Also located on the square, the noteworthy Renaissance town hall of 1561 preserved its Renaissance passage to the yard and its rectangular windows with window sills. The square boasts with a triangular Marian column from 1731. On the of column is a statue of Madonna, which was brought in from the town of Cheb. Corners of the triangular base bear the rustic statues of St. Sebastian, St. Adalbert and St. Florian produced by local stonemasons.
