Devil's Column

Don't really know what it is or the story behind it. But a nice relaxing place to sit or take a walk

One of the most mystical places in Vyšehrad. Devil's stones look like a modern work, but they have been standing here since the end of the 19th century and their origin is unclear. The columns are made of granite from Posázaví, which, due to its very high hardness, was not usually used for construction and together weighs more than 3 tons. What the columns originally served, how they got here and at what time they were created, there is only speculation about it.

There is no information board about the interesting story of Cert's stones. Mysterious stones that have been here for centuries and no one knows why.

A mystical place, meeting devils. You need to read the story, otherwise it's just stones.

St. Peter ordered the devil to wear stones for the construction of the church. The devil bet with the Vyšehrad priest to bring a pillar from the Roman St. Peter's Church before the end of the Mass. But St. Peter dropped him three times into the sea at Venice. The devil was late, he lost the bet. He hurled the column angrily at the Visegrad rock and smashed it into three pieces.
