Krucifix (Hrochův Týnec) Crucifix
Hippopotamus Týnci is a remarkable monument that stands on the west edge of the city Hrochův Týnec in the district of Chrudim. It is a sandstone crucifix which was built in 1763 on the memory of a seven-year war. The crucifix has been protected as a cultural monument since 2007.
The crucifix was built by the church high in memory of the seven-year war, which strongly marked the city of Hrochův Týnec. The seven-year war was a series of wars between Prussia, Austria and Russia, which resulted in considerable loss of life and property.
The crucifix stands in a square decorative metal fence with doors on the front. In the fence there is a low prism base decorated on the front with a deep frame on the sandstone stage. On the pedestal stands a narrower pillar with voluously extended hips ended with a profiled ledge. The front side of the pillar is decorated with a deep frame with Latin inscription: "ConsIlio et InDVstrila patrils ConstantInI Berann pro MotorIs P.G. '. Also the back side of the pillar is decorated with another Latin inscription with chronogram 1763:" BelLo fInIto pIetas DominII for hoLoCa Vsto erIcIt. "On the ledge of the pillar stands a low profiled base on which stands a cross with a small gilded corpus of Christ and a plate with a gilded inscription INRI above the head. The cross is spread at the heel and its shoulders are tripled.
The crucifix is remarkable not only by its architecture, but also by its historical context. It was built on the memory of a series of wars that resulted in considerable loss of life and property. Its architecture is characterized by sandstone pedestal, pillar and cross, which are decorated with Latin inscriptions. Krucifix has been protected as a cultural monument since 2007 and is worth visiting for its historical and architectural values.
