Socha svatého Jana Nepomuckého, Baroque statue in Skalička, Czech Republic.

This Baroque sandstone statue rests on a tall pedestal with profiled cornice, displaying three stone coats of arms from the Ullersdorf family. It depicts the saint as a bearded figure in traditional robes, holding a metal cross and a book with a gilded palm branch.

The sandstone statue was carved in 1712 at the expense of Jan Josef Ullersdorf of Němčí, holder of the Skalička fief, and set up near the local chateau. Between 1854 and 1864 the counts von Stockau, then owners of the estate, had it moved off the chateau grounds. It returned to its original site in the 1990s, when it was also restored; further repairs followed in 2013–2014.

The statue follows a type repeated in nearby Slavíč and Velká: a bearded John of Nepomuk with a bireť on his head, a metal cross in his right hand and a book with a gilded palm frond in his left. The three coats of arms of the Ullersdorf family of Němčí on the pedestal recall the feudal holder who paid for the carving in 1712.

The monument is freely accessible and stands outdoors, so exercise caution during harsh weather or very wet ground conditions. The best time to view it is on clear days when natural light highlights the sandstone details and gilded elements effectively.

The sandstone was specially treated to remove moss and lichen growth while reinforcing its structural stability. The gilding on the cross and halo has been carefully preserved through restoration efforts, remaining notably bright compared to the weathered patina of the rest of the sculpture.
