Holy Trinity Statue

This statue is to be found in front of the staircase of St. James The Great church oratory. The platform consists of three parts and was built around 1750.

In the Footsteps of the Baroque

Although the Bohemian Paradise is exceptionally rich in objects of architectural heritage of many different styles and periods, the Baroque period left the most pronounced marks in the expensive constructional enterprises of the aristocracy as well as dozens of churches and chapels built in the period of re-Catholicisation. Numerous examples of civic architecture from the 18th century as well as folk architecture have also been preserved. The landscape and village greens are decorated with chapels, wayside crosses and sculptures by folk artists.
