Památník povstání nevolníků v roce 1775 u zámku Konopiště, Memorial sculptures at Konopiště Castle, Czech Republic

The memorial near Konopiště Castle is a group of sandstone figures depicting a peasant uprising, positioned on the castle grounds. The sculptures show people in different situations and together form a narrative scene that tells a story through carved forms.

The memorial commemorates the 1775 peasant rebellion when serfs rose against harsh working conditions and forced labor duties imposed by landowners. The uprising was part of a period of change in Bohemia when tensions between lords and peasants grew sharper.

The front of the plinth bears the carved year 1775; the rebels' leaders, Bartoloměj Škvor, Václav Nádvorník, the innkeeper Václav Novák and the smith Párys, were sentenced to hang, but Maria Theresa commuted the sentences. The five peasants shot on 18 July 1775 were buried by the churchyard wall of St Philip and James in Chvojno, and Countess O'Kelly had a Stations of the Cross built below the castle in their memory.

The memorial sits next to the castle and is easy to reach by following marked paths from the main castle entrance. Information panels at the site explain the historical event and help visitors understand what the carved scenes represent.

The sandstone group was made in 1987 by medallist Michal Vitanovský with Alois Holík and architect Jiří Veselý, and only placed in the park southwest of the castle in 1989. It measures 240 cm high, 70 cm wide and 100 cm deep on a 70 cm high plinth. The front of the plinth carries the relief date 1775.
