Abstract

The article focuses on the transformation of the countryside of Jezeří-Nové Sedlo in a short period of time, when it was managed by Count Ulrich Felix of Lobkowicz. He had erected several sculptural works, which were to give up the respect of the newly-born saint, St.

Jan Nepomuk, his personal patron, representatives of the Capuchin Order, St. Felix of Cantalice and fire-saints.

In addition, the garden of Jezeří Castle was transformed by numerous sculptural works. Sculptural works have become an integral part of the landscape and therefore the everyday life of the people in his estate.
