=========================================================
Socha sv. Jana Nepomukcého zhotovena a vysvecena r. 1720, podstavec starší.
Most je dlouhý 20m, široký 4m a jeho výška nad hladinou potoka ciní 4m. Zídka je plná, omítaná. Na stredu mostu na parapetní zídce je osazena socha sv. Barbory držící v rukou kalich a kvety. Na zadní strane soklu datum 1791 a iniciály A. M. Vpravo pred vstupem na most stojí socha sv. Jana Nepomuckého v tradicním šate na jejímž podstavci jsou na všech ctyrech stranách umísteny slunecní hodiny. Podstavec pod sv. Janem Nepom. je starší než socha; dríve na nem stával kríž, který se nedochoval.
