Socha svatého Jana Nepomuckého

The sandstone statue stands on a tall pedestal with profiled cornice, featuring three stone coats of arms of the Ullersdorf family from Němčí.

The statue was carved in 1712 by order of Jan Josef Ullersdorf, the holder of the Skalička fief, and relocated outside the castle grounds between 1854-1864.

The statue depicts John of Nepomuk as a bearded man wearing traditional robes, holding a metal cross and a book with gilded palm branch.

The monument underwent restoration in the 1990s and additional repairs in 2013-2014, including gold-plating of the saint's cross and halo.

The weathered sandstone structure received specialized treatment to remove moss and lichen growth while strengthening its structural integrity for preservation.
