Socha Salvatora mundi Statue
The Baroque statue of Salvatore mundi in Nové Bydžov, the district of Hradec Králové, dates back to 1706 and 1747. This sandstone monument, now located in the park near the old hospital, represents the Savior of the world and is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
The oldest part of the building is a falcon from 1706, the oldest sandstone Baroque monument in Nový Bydžov. It was created during the Baroque cultural boom in Central Europe, a period of architectural innovation. The original statue on the plinth was not preserved, probably broken in the storm.
The monument is made of sandstone and stands on a four-sided plinth decorated by the reliefs of St. John the Evangelist, Saint Mary Magdalene and the Painful Virgin Mary. There is an oval cartouche with engraved inscription on the front wall of the plinth, from which dating 1706 is recognized. The character Salvatore mundi from 1747 stands on a pedestal with a profiled head and a heel. The base has cartouche with volute edges and the inscription SALVATOR MUNDI. The figure is represented as a man in mascara, with bare feet, long wavy hair and beard. With his right hand, he blesses and holds the monarch's apple in his left. The left side of the statue shows the signature MATES SWORTZ 174.
Originally, the statue was located on the crossroads leading to Skochovice and Old Bydžov, known as U shadowhunters, a place used for execution of executions. The location of Salvatore mundi had a specific purpose - the salvation of the souls of the dead.
Today the monument is located in the park between the buildings of the old hospital and the surgical ambulance, approximately 500 meters west of the city centre. Since November 4, 1994, the statue has been officially protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic under register number SAR 12887 / 6-5792.
Socha Salvatora mundi is a valuable testament to Baroque art and local history. Its visit offers insight into ancient spirituality and craftsmanship of the eighteenth century.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring Life wakes up around the statue in the spring. The trees start to green and the air smells fresh. The light is soft in this period and does not shine. I recommend you take several layers of clothing because the wounds can still be cold. The best time for a tour is in the morning when nature is the most lively.
Summer During the summer months there is a lot of heat around the statue and the sun shines the strongest. Days are long, which allows you to visit until late evening. It's good to have a headgear and plenty of fluids. If you want to wipe out the direct heat, choose the time around the sunset when the shadows are longer and the temperature is more pleasant.
Autumn Autumn brings gold and brown to New Byjo. Leaves in the surrounding trees create beautiful sets for viewing the sights. It can often happen that there is a morning mist around the statue that gives the place a mystery. Get dressed in bigger jackets and don't forget to wear stronger shoes because the road can be wet.
Winter In winter, the surroundings of the statue are often covered with snow, which creates a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The sun is low in the sky and the light is very sharp, but the days are short. It is necessary to prepare for frost, so choose a very warm jacket and gloves. The best thing to do is to come on a bright day when the snow reflects beautifully.
