Saint Ludmila, Baroque statue on Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic
The limestone statue depicts Saint Ludmila teaching her grandson Saint Wenceslaus while holding a Bible, with both figures wearing royal crowns.
Created by sculptor Matthias Braun in 1730, the monument was relocated to Charles Bridge from Prague Castle ramp following the flood of 1784.
The statue represents Saint Ludmila as an educator and spiritual guide, reflecting her role in introducing Christianity to medieval Bohemia.
Current visitors see a 1999 replica by sculptors Jan and Marcela Kacer, while the original remains preserved in the National Museum collection.
The statue base contains a relief showing Ludmila's death by strangulation with a scarf, ordered by her daughter-in-law Drahomira.
