Findlaterův obelisk, Memorial obelisk in spa forests, Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
The eight-meter-high sandstone and granite obelisk features a three-sided conical column mounted on a hexagonal base with steps and topped by a sphere.
The monument, inaugurated on August 4, 1804, honors Scottish Count James Ogilvie Findlater, who supported the development of spa buildings and forest paths.
The memorial includes inscriptions in German and Czech languages, reflecting the multilingual heritage of the Karlovy Vary spa region through centuries.
