The equestrian statue of King George of Podebrady, the work of Bohuslav Schnirch, ranks among the most outstanding Czech monumental sculptures of the 19th century. It originated in a wholly unique way, dor it was hammered from copper plates fixed on a steel bearing structure. Originally installed at the Jubilee and Ethnographical Exhibition in Prague, the statue was solemnly unveiled at Podebrady in 1896.
