=========================================================

Pískovcová socha sv. Floriána príkladem pozdne barokní datované práce z roku 1755, která byla zhotovena nákladem kaplana Jana Baptisty Šenka, který byl v letech 1758 - 1798 brumovským farárem. Autorem mohl být nekterý z žáku nebo spolupracovníku Donnerových pokracovatelu na Morave. Soucasná podoba díla je však cástecne ovlivnena rekonstrukcí nekterých výraznových partií pri restaurátorském zásahu v roce 1998.
