Cejkové of Olbramovice was originally an old Czech knight family, which branched into many lines in the 16th century. One of the lines reached the count's title in the 18th century.
A dynamically conceived statue of St. John in a counterpoint from the second half of the 18th century (unknown author), resting on a massive stone pedestal. The stone pedestal of the sculpture is set on a massive wide base of square ground plan. In front of this postament is a smaller and lower block forming the pre-stage. The base itself has a rectangular base with a high plinth on the front and both sides (a reinforcing pillar is attached to the back). The prismatic base of the plinth is decorated with reliefs of alliance coats of arms of statue donators (Jan Ignác Josef count of Unvertu and his wife Marie Terezie countess Cejková of Olbramovice).
