Statue of Charles IV Křižovnické náměstí Praha 1 – Staré Město, Czech Republic

Artist: Ernst Julius Hähnel Style: Neo Gothic Opened: 1844

A significant Neo-gothic monument based on the model of Arnošt Hähnel (a sculptor from Dresden) was made by the workshop in Nürnberg in 1848 for the 500th anniversary of the foundation of the Charles University. The statue of Charles IV is superhuman in size, almost 4 m high. He leans on a sword with one hand and holds the foundation bull of the Prague University in his other hand.

On the almost 4m high pedestal there are allegories of four faculties (theological, medical, legal and philosophical) and on the corners there are four figures of the significant personalities from Charles' time: Arnošt of Pardubice, Jan Očko of Vlašim, Beneš Krabice of Weitmile and Matyáš of Arras.
