Sloup se sochou svatého Floriána Statue column

Welcome to the unique monument, which is a pillar with a statue of St. Florian in the picturesque village of Střevač. As you stand before this historical structure, you can see the Baroque sandstone sculpture placed on a slightly convex pillar. The pillar is decorated with volutes and ends with an arched ledge with a carved mussel, which gives this monument an elegant and moving character.

This column was created in 1767. Although the author of the statue remained unknown, it belongs to a period of baroque art which developed in the 18th century and manifested itself in many aspects of architecture and sculpture. During this period such monuments were not only aesthetic but also spiritual centres of communities.

Look up at the statue of St. Florian and notice its details. The Baroque style is visible not only in complex voltages, but also in carved mussels on the ledge, which adds a statue of mystical atmosphere and deeper meaning.

Although the specific historical figures associated with this column are not known, its significance for the municipality Střevač is obvious. In 2002, the statue was officially declared a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic, which confirms its importance and value.

The interesting thing is that this monument is not only a work of art, but also a testament to a historical period when similar statues were built as protective symbols. The statue of Saint Florian, patron saint of fire-fighters and firefighters, may also remind you of the importance of protecting our communities.
