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.
Sculptor Franz Pönninger created the statue in 1879. War damage threatened its survival, but restoration work between 1991 and 1993 brought it back.
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 sits directly in the park and is easily reached from the city center. The site is freely accessible at any time.
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.
