Monument in Radhošť, Dolní Bečva, Czech Republic / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The statue of Radegast (Czech: socha Radegasta) is a statue of the alleged Slavic god Radegast located on Mount Radhošť in Dolní Bečva, Czech Republic, facing the summit. The statue was created by academic sculptor Albin Polasek, a professor at the Art Institute of Chicago from Frenštát pod Radhoštěm. The original statue is currently located in the town hall in Frenštát, and on Radhošť there is a replica of it, which is 3.2 metres (10 ft) high and weighs 3.38 tonnes.[1] The second original statue, made at the same time, is located in the Prague Zoo.
