Statue of Božena Němcová at Slovanský ostrov
Statue of Božena Němcová at Slovanský ostrov, Bronze statue in Slovanský ostrov, Czech Republic.
The monument on Slovanský ostrov is a bronze sculpture standing on this island in New Town. The work was created by sculptor Karel Pokorný and shaped by architect Jaroslav Fragner's vision for the site.
The memorial was established in 1901 as a tribute to a significant figure in Czech letters. A major restoration in the middle of the 20th century ensured the work could endure for future visitors.
The statue honors a writer who dedicated her work to portraying rural Czech life and shaped the development of Czech literature. Her literary legacy remains visible to visitors through this commemorative monument in the city.
The memorial is located on an island accessible by foot through the central areas of Prague. You can reach it easily from nearby public transportation and it stands in a walkable zone with other amenities.
The statue sits on an island that holds a special place in Prague's cultural life, far from the usual tourist crowds. The island itself offers quiet moments where the monument can be appreciated in its natural setting.
