To the right of the church we can find a beautiful blend of baroque and cubism. It is a baroque statue of St. John of Nepomuk from 1723 in Cubist framing. It is generally considered that the Baroque and cubism resonate well with each other. The House of the Black Madonna in Celetna street might be an example.
