Statue of John of Nepomuk in Poznań, 18th-century religious statue near Warta River in Poznań, Poland.
The stone statue presents Saint John of Nepomuk wearing clerical robes and standing on a decorated pedestal near the river banks.
Constructed in 1724, this monument honors the Czech saint who died in 1393 after refusing to reveal confessional secrets to King Wenceslaus.
The statue represents deep Catholic traditions in Poznań, with many residents considering it a symbol of protection against floods and water dangers.
Visitors can find the statue along their walking route between the Old Market Square and the Warta River, with information panels nearby.
The monument features the traditional five-star halo, marking the spots where the saint's body was found floating in Prague's Vltava River.
