Monument George of Podebrady, Bronze equestrian monument in Jiřího Square, Poděbrady, Czech Republic.
The Georg-von-Podiebrad monument is a bronze equestrian statue located in Jiřího Square in Poděbrady, showing the king mounted on horseback. The sculpture in Renaissance Revival style stands at the center of the square and dominates the public space with its upright posture.
The monument honors King George of Poděbrady, who ruled Bohemia from 1458 to 1471 and was the first Czech-born ruler after Charles IV. During his reign, he built diplomatic relations with other European states and contributed to the country's stability.
The king's name is deeply tied to the town, which is named after him. The monument stands as a visible reminder of this connection in the heart of the square.
The monument is located centrally in Jiřího Square and is easy to find when exploring the public space. Information plaques around the monument provide background on the king and his historical significance to the region.
The monument was created by renowned sculptor Bohuslav Schnirch, who was celebrated for his works during the 19th century in Bohemia. The details of the horse's representation and the king's armor demonstrate the technical skill of that artistic period.
