Rare Baroque Statues Return to Králicko After Four Decades

After a 40-year presence in the Church of St. Nicholas in Vraclav, a collection of rare Baroque statues is making a journey back to their region of origin. These unique polychrome sculptures, which have graced the church for four decades, are now being carefully prepared for transport.

Next week, the final statues will depart Vraclav by truck, heading back to the Králicko region. This area holds historical significance for the artworks, as they were originally created in the early 18th century. Their initial purpose was to adorn a pilgrimage route leading to the Mother of God Mountain Monastery.

The return of these statues marks a significant cultural and historical event for Králicko, reconnecting the region with a tangible piece of its artistic heritage. The move ensures the preservation and potential display of these valuable Baroque artifacts in a context closer to their original setting.
