In the arcade of the palace of Lucerne there is an unusual sculpture that is not inferior to its original size - a monument to Prince Wenceslas, which is on Wenceslas Square in the very heart of Prague. Few people know about the existence of this parody copy, moreover: initially it and nowhere did not want to place it anywhere. After all, Saint Wenceslas is considered a national favorite, he is respected by all Czechs and Slavs without exception. But the scandalously well-known Czech sculptor David Cherny decided to make his version of this famous monument.

I must say, the version is extremely frivolous: Prince Václav sits on the horse's belly, and he hangs upside down with his tongue hanging out from the ceiling. But not everything is so simple and funny with this sculpture. In fact, her author laid a deep meaning in the monument, which in time was understood and accepted by many local residents. According to the legend, the horse will hang in such a state until "the Constitutional monarchy prevails in the Crown of the Czechs."

Originally planned to install a monument in the main hall of the Czech Post, but the management did not give its consent to install a scandalous sculpture. Then the mistress of the palace Lucerne offered her gallery in the arcade for the installation of an "inverted horse." The horse, alas, hangs so far in such an uncomfortable state, but in comfort it can be said that it has become one of the most noteworthy sights of the beautiful Prague.
