This is a beautiful bronze monument of an important Czech industrialist who was born here. The statue is surrounded by artistic bronze depictions of real scenes and angels.
It is located just a few minutes' walk from the main square, at the entrance to the Lannova Trida shopping district named after him. It is also situated at the end (or beginning) of a beautiful, green park that winds along the canal around the Old Town.

Adalbert Lanna (Czech: Vojtěch Lanna) was an industrial baron, railway pioneer, and practically the Elon Musk of the 19th century—only with more mustache and less Twitter drama. Born in Budweis (yes, that's a real demonym!), he not only built railways through Bohemia, but also ensured that his hometown had more beer and steam locomotives than inhabitants.

The monument to Vojtěch Lanna is considered the oldest monument in České Budějovice. It was created between 1866 and 1879 and was financed by public collection. Miraculously, it survived the metal collections during World War II, but was damaged and hidden in 1945. It was only restored and unveiled in 1993. The 6.64-meter-high monument is the work of Franz Pönninger and is adorned with reliefs depicting Lanna's trade and industrial activities. The statue shows Vojtěch Lanna with the attributes of a shipmaster.
