Pamětní kámen, Stone cross in Padochov, Czech Republic.

Pamětní kámen, also called Šurynka, is a rectangular stone stele about 100 × 40 × 18 cm at the edge of the forest behind Padochov, on the northern side of the village toward Václavka. Its upper part takes the form of a wavy gable, and a single-armed cross is carved above an inscription on the face of the slab. The stone was made by Hynek Brázda.

The memorial stone, known as Šurynka, recalls the 1919 robbery-murder of Marie Šurá, a widow travelling to Ivančice to buy goods for her tobacconist's shop, killed by her son Jan. The death register and Lidové noviny of 1 April 1919 give the date as 31 March 1919; the killer was detained and later sentenced. The stone was made by Hynek Brázda.

Locals call the stone Šurynka after Marie Šurá, the widow killed here in 1919 while walking to Ivančice to buy goods for her tobacco shop. Her son Jan was arrested after the act and later sentenced. The memorial stone was made by Hynek Brázda.

The monument is situated in a rural setting and remains freely accessible year-round for visitors to explore. Using a mapping application or GPS coordinates helps locate it easily, especially when traveling through the countryside.
