Saint John of Nepomuk (or John Nepomucene) [Czech: Jan Nepomucký; German: Johannes Nepomuk; Latin: Ioannes (or Ioannis) Nepomucenus (c. 1345 – March 20, 1393) is the saint of Bohemia (Czech Republic), who was drowned in the Vltava river at the behest of Wenceslaus, King of the Romans and King of Bohemia. Later accounts state that he was the confessor of the queen of Bohemia and he refused to divulge the secrets of the confessional. On the basis of this account, John of Nepomuk is considered the first martyr of the Seal of the Confessional, a patron against calumnies and, because of the manner of his death, a protector from floods and drowning.

=========================================================
Kamenná skulptura z roku 1711 situovaná na ulici Hradištská nedaleko hrbitova. Dílo sestává ze základny, mohutného ctyrbokého profilovaného podstavce, podnože a sochy svetce v životní velikosti.
Socha svetce stojí na podnoži v kontrapostu s vytlaceným levým kolenem. Svetec oden v kanovnické roucho s biretem na hlave, v rukou drží kríž s telem Krista nad levou rukou. Hlava vzprímena, mírne pootocena k pevnému rameni.
