The Praded Gallery of Jiríkov in the Bruntál region exhibits more than 250 pieces of artwork from the woodcarver, Jirí Halouzka.
The gallery is on a fallow deer farm, which also includes a giant nativity scene with 150 life-size figurines, including an elephant and a camel.
This gallery includes a wooden statue of the ruler of the mountain, Praded, which is another rarity. This is also the largest statue, measuring over 10 meters and weighing 15 tons. The third unique artwork is a giant carving of Praded’s realm, made of lime wood and covered with a roof to protect it from rain.
All three of Halouzka’s unique artworks have been included in the Czech Book of Records.
