The statue of Saint Nepomuk shows Nepomuk triumphing over pain and death. The linden avenue begins at this statue. It ends in front of the Inner Gate, the former entrance to the monastery buildings.

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 a popular "bridge saint", but is also the patron saint of the seal of confession. In many depictions of him 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.

The statue of John Nepomuk in the Leitha Mountains is an important cultural and religious landmark in the region. This statue represents Saint John Nepomuk, who is considered the patron saint of bridges and rivers and is widely venerated in Central Europe.
