CZ: Hranolová stavba - na stríšce z pálených tašek malý litinový kríž, vpredu zamrížovaný výklenek, datovaná L.P. 2011. Ve výklenku je soška sv. Floriána - patrona profesí, které souvisejí s ohnem – hasicu, hutníku, kominíku, hrncíru ci pekaru.
V ikonografii je obvykle znázornován v oblecení rímského dustojníka s nádobou na hašení, prípadne prímo hasící požár. Jeho kult byl znacne rozšíren i v ceských zemích a jeho sochy se budovaly na ochranu proti požáru.
Katolická církev si jeho památku pripomíná 4. kvetna.

In iconography, it is usually depicted in the clothes of a Roman officer with a fire extinguisher or a fire extinguisher. His cult was greatly extended in the Czech lands and his statues were built to protect against fire.
