EN: This cache is dedicated to so called Plague Pillar in town of Bustehrad.

The sculpture is about 5 metres tall and was erected in the early 18th century. The plinth decorated with volutes bears relief with arms of Anna Maria Franziska Duchess of Saxe-Lauenburg (then owner of the Bustehrad estate). A round column with composite capital rises from this base and ends with two angels carrying a copy of much venerated relief of Our Lady of Stara Boleslav. Local inhabitants traditionally refer to this sculpture as the Plague Pillar.

The monument has recently undergone refurbishment. Conservated original work is now stored within the neighbouring chateau while a copy by sculptor Jan Bradna stands on its place since 2010.

Attention, conceal the cache really well, so that it has a long life. And watch out for muggles.
Happy hunting.
