Hnátův stone

The origin of the stone is described everywhere, but the stone has another interesting history. Once, the carriage broke it into two pieces and dropped it into the river. The stone was lifted out of the water and stored in the cellar of the gymnasium, overburdened with coal, and was accidentally discovered by the cellars before World War II, and planted in a bridge in 1946. Recently, the stone was restored in the construction of the new bridge.

In breastcollar stone bridge over the river Sázava, which replaced a wooden bridge in the years 1852 - 1855, it is on the city side vezděn called Hnátův stone. According to legend, he gave in 1472 Brodsky Herding watcher at Lower Gate bell sign Jihlava to attack the city. However, the ringing warned the burghers of Brno who repelled the attack. Herding was thrown by women into the city moat and stoned. The stone is said to denote the place of execution of the treacherous reporter. The skeleton of Hnáta in the shield of the Old Town Hall represents "Brodsky's death".

I don't know what to add. A place slightly sunken and easily overlooked in a crowd of flying cars and people around. Unfortunately

One of the places that is good to visit.
