    The statue is in the park, the inscription on the side is still in German, but difficult to read

      Saint John of Nepomuk was a priest (Vicar General of the Archbishop) in Bohemia who died a martyr's death in Prague in 1393. He was thrown from the Charles Bridge in Prague into the Vltava River by royal order and drowned. His statue can still be found on or near many bridges or elsewhere near rivers. He is not only considered a popular "bridge saint", but is also the patron of the seal of confession. In many depictions of his person he holds a cross in one hand, sometimes he puts a finger to his lips with the other as a sign of silence (which was heard during confession).
      The memorial day of Saint John of Nepomuk in the calendar of saints is March 20th.
