Statue of Saint Notburga of Rattenberg in Bezno, Baroque sandstone statue in Bezno, Czech Republic

The Statue of Saint Notburga of Rattenberg is a sandstone sculpture from the first half of the 18th century, standing by the pond in the northern part of Bezno's village square. The saint, in a simple dress with a pleated skirt and apron, holds a sickle in her right hand and a container in her left; a gilded rayed halo crowns her head. At her left foot kneels a beggar child with clasped hands, looking up at her, a bag lying behind him. The four-sided base with concave corners bears two crowned cartouches with different coats of arms.

The monument dates from the first half of the 18th century and was erected as a Baroque work in this community. The veneration of Saint Notburga, an Austrian figure from the 13th century, became anchored in the region through such monuments.

The statue honors Saint Notburga as a patron of farm workers, a veneration that remains rooted in this region's rural heritage. Her depiction with farming tools connects the village to its agricultural past and values.

The monument stands at the northwest edge of the village square and is easily visible from nearby paths and roads. It is registered as a cultural monument under number 15132/2-1492 and is protected heritage of the Czech Republic.

The kneeling figure beside the saint is shown in profile with clasped hands, dressed in trousers and a short coat, and a satchel lies on the ground behind him. The group measures about 1.6 m, while the base with the statues reaches 3.6 m without the concrete footing.
