Monument of Adalbert Lanna the Elder, Bronze statue in Sady Park, České Budějovice, Czech Republic.

The Monument of Adalbert Lanna the Elder is a bronze statue standing between Kanovnická and Lannova streets in Sady Park. The figure rises from a pedestal within this public green space near the city center.

The monument was made between 1866 and 1879 at the Imperial-Royal Art Foundry in Wieden under Franz Pönninger, funded largely by a public subscription initiated by the city council. It was unveiled on 24 May 1879. In May 1945 a crowd tore it down and badly damaged it; it was partially restored and re-erected in 1993.

The monument honors a figure who shaped České Budějovice through river commerce, rail connections, and industrial growth during the 1800s. People in the city still recognize his role in its development.

The monument stands at the western end of Lannova třída, in Sady Park on the site of the former town fortifications. The bronze figure is set on a cylindrical pedestal ringed by a relief, with iron posts and chains marking the enclosure. The park is open ground in the city center, so the monument can be viewed at any hour.

The pedestal bears inscriptions celebrating two major accomplishments: making a river navigable and building a horse-drawn rail line to another city. These details reveal what shaped his legacy.
