Sculpture of St. Jude Thaddeus

The sculpture of St. Jude Thaddeus, holding a book and a gnarled staff—the instrument of the saint’s martyrdom—was made in 1708 by sculptor Jan Oldřich Mayer. The work was commissioned by Knight František Sezima Mitrovský of Nemyšl. The sandstone came from a former quarry in Kamenné Žehrovice.
