Statue of Goliath in Kuks, Baroque statue in Kuks, Czech Republic
The Statue of Goliath stands as part of a collection of 24 sculptures at the Kuks Hospital complex, created by sculptor Matyáš Bernard Braun.
Count František Antonín Špork commissioned the statue in the early 18th century as part of his vision for a therapeutic complex including a hospital.
The statue represents both the biblical figure Goliath and the character Herkommanus, reflecting the artistic and religious themes of Czech Baroque period.
Visitors can access the statue through a marked path from the paid parking lot in Kuks village, with regular opening hours from April to October.
The statue forms part of an extensive outdoor gallery alongside the Elbe River, combining Baroque sculptural art with medicinal herb gardens.
