Sousoší Kalvárie

The bailey is a beautiful and quiet place

It was great tomorrow there I go again I recommend.

A beautiful sculpture near the birthplace of the poet Adolf Heyduk.

Sculpture of Calvary with statues of St. Joseph and St. Jan Nepomucký. The set of three High Baroque sculptures from 1762 -3 (Calvary) with a central crucifix represents a quality example of late Baroque regional production. Urbanistically significant location on the outskirts of the village, at the turn of the road to Lešany. These are baroque stone triplets. Crucifix - in the middle, St. Jan Nepomucký - right and st. Josefa - left. The statues stand on three separate plinths, which are volutes with a profiled cornice.

The sculpture of Calvary in Předhradí is a set of three listed statues consisting of the artistic Crucifixion of Jesus Christ (central sculpture in the middle of the so-called stone triptych), St. Joseph and St. John of Nepomuk (on the sides). The set of sculptures by an unspecified author dates from the High Baroque period, according to the National Monuments Institute, it was compiled between 1762 and 1763. It has been protected as a cultural monument since May 3, 1958, and in 2008 the sculptural group was restored. The sculptural group is situated on a gentle slope above the junction of road II / 358 leading to the edge of the village of Předhradí with the local road - Captain Svatoně Street, continuing towards Lešany. Publicly accessible and well observable. The statues stand on separate pedestals, the material for the statues of regional origin has become light sandstone, the central so-called crucifix is ​​complemented on the heel by a crying angel made of the same stone. The sculptural group completes the historical framework of the village with the castle Rychmburk, the church of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows and the manor garden with a bust of Filip Kinský, former owner of the Rychmburk estate in the years 1753 to 1823, which shows that I recommend for visiting historical monuments in the village of Předhradí and also the romantic valley of the river Krounka below the castle Rychmburk in the Nature Park Krounky and Novohradky (see also places on the map).
