Cross to the Victims of Communism

The Cross to the Victims of Communism stands in the cemetery of Sedliště, combining wood and steel in its construction. Located near All Saints Church, the memorial rises prominently among the graves.

The memorial was created after communist rule ended in Czechoslovakia and unveiled in 1994. Its creation reflects the period of national mourning and remembrance that followed the political transition.

The memorial draws locals who visit to leave flowers and pay respects on significant dates throughout the year. It serves as a focal point for remembrance gatherings within the community.

The cemetery is easily accessible on foot and the cross is visible from the main paths. It is best to visit during daylight hours when you can see the monument clearly and observe the surrounding graves comfortably.

Artist Milo Komínek deliberately mixed rural wood traditions with modern steel framework in this work. The contrast between materials tells its own story about loss and recovery through the craftsmanship itself.
