Jirkov - statue of Svetec

Information

Visited:12. 9. 2021

History:This Baroque sculpture was created by an unknown artist at an unknown time. Although the pedestal bears the year 1808 or 1828, this may be just the year of renovation, but also the year of creation. In any case, the statue ceased to be maintained after the removal of the German population and gradually fell into disrepair. Eventually it was also deliberately destroyed during the second half of the 20th century, as evidenced by the decapitated and glued statue of the saint.

Impressions:An interesting sculpture, about which unfortunately I found almost no information.
