Kamenná soška zazdená do hradeb mela podle povesti bránit mesto proti dobyvatelum a nedovolit jim vstoupit do mesta. Její cinnost však v tomto smeru nebyla príliš úspešná, nesto bylo v historii nekolikrát dobyto a vypleneno. Že panna ochranitelka mesto nekdy ubránila, legendy nepraví.

=============================

Stone statue had been encased in the walls according to the legend come alive in times of danger and defend the city against invaders and not allow them to enter the city. Its work in this direction, however, was not very successful, carrying it several times in history conquered and plundered. The maid patron city ever resisted, legends bogus.
What's the Real Story?:
The true origin and meaning of the statue is unknown. Perhaps it is the daughter of the founder of the city, king Ottokar I.
