Saint Norbert, Wenceslaus and Sigismund, Religious statues on Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic
The sandstone statues display Saint Norbert in the center, Saint Wenceslaus holding a flag on the left, and Saint Sigismund on the right.
Commissioned by Strahov Monastery abbot Jeronym Zeidler, the current statues replaced earlier versions destroyed by Prussian forces and were installed in 1853.
The three saints represent important religious figures in Czech history, with Saint Norbert as the founder of Premonstratensians and Saint Wenceslaus as Bohemia's patron.
The statues stand on the north side of Charles Bridge, connecting Prague Castle with Old Town, and visitors can view them while crossing the bridge.
The current statues are replicas installed in 1965, with the original sandstone sculptures preserved in the National Museum of Prague.
