Pomona was a goddess of fruitful abundance in ancient Roman religion and myth. Her name comes from the Latin word pomum, "fruit," specifically orchard fruit.

The path in the park is terminated by an iron gate, on whose side 3 m high pillars stand robust sculptures of Pomona and Flora carved from sandstone, each of the goddesses depicted with their respective attributes. The author is probably Ignác František Platzer and they are from the second half of the 18th century.
