This statue of the Czech bridge saint John of Nepomuk is not in the middle of the bridge, as is usual, but on the southern bank. It was moved to the Lidicky nábřeží because of the reconstruction of the wooden bridge over the Ohře at the former Water Gate, the original location, and then here to the bridge in Josefa Kajetán Tyl Street in 1996. The sandstone statue from 1729 shows the saint slightly less than life-size in the traditional concept, with an inscription and a chronogram on the base.

The statue stood at the former water gate over the Eger, but was then moved because of the new bridge. Striking relic on the banks of the Eger.
