Pomník bratranců Veverkových, Cultural monument in Zelené Předměstí, Czech Republic.

The Veverka Cousins Monument is a sandstone sculptural group by Josef Strachovský, erected in 1883. Two larger-than-life figures stand on a pedestal about 1.7 metres high: the standing figure on the right is the farmer František Veverka, who conceived the plough, and the seated figure is the blacksmith Václav Veverka, who built the first one. The front of the pedestal bears the inscription "VYNÁLEZCŮM RUCHADLA BRATRANCŮM VEVERKŮM", with two reliefs below showing stages of the invention.

The two cousins developed an innovative plow design in the early 1800s that transformed farming across the Bohemian lands. The memorial itself was built later to preserve their legacy and ensure their contribution would be remembered.

The monument honors two cousins whose invention changed farming practices in the region. The way locals speak about this memorial shows how deeply the family's contribution is woven into community memory.

The monument is located in the Zelené Předměstí neighborhood and is easily reachable on foot. Visitors should note that sandstone can appear slippery during wet weather and the carved details are best viewed in good light.

The sandstone statues stand on a pedestal about 1.7 metres high: the standing figure is the farmer František Veverka, who had the idea for the machine, while the seated one is the blacksmith Václav Veverka, who built the first ruchadlo. Below the front inscription, two small reliefs show scenes from the making of the plough.
