Statue of Bruncvík, Charles Bridge, Memorial statue on Charles Bridge, Czech Republic
The Bruncvík statue features a knight holding a sword next to a lion, representing strength through detailed bronze craftsmanship on Charles Bridge.
Created by sculptor Ludvík Šimek in 1884, this statue replaced an earlier monument of Roland that was damaged during the 1648 Swedish invasion.
The statue represents a mythical Bohemian knight who aided a lion against a dragon, symbolizing protection and courage in Czech folklore.
Located between statues of Saints Vincent Ferrer and Procopius, visitors can observe the monument while crossing from Old Town to Lesser Quarter.
The statue carries specific meaning regarding Old Town privileges about bridge tolls and duties, marking its administrative importance for Prague.
