St. Anthony of Padua Church, Sokolov

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of the Capuchin monastery, dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, is an early Baroque building with a high triangular gable. The eastern side wall is broken by the entrance to the underground monastery crypt, which Jan Hartvík of Nostic had chosen for the family grave. His second wife, Eleonora Marie, was the first to be buried here on September 17, 1681.

The Jubilee Fountain, also known as the Schram Fountain, on the Old Square was unveiled on December 11, 1898 on the 50th anniversary of Franz Joseph I's accession to the throne. The important Schram family of entrepreneurs contributed financially to the fountain's construction, hence its second name in popular parlance. For years, the fountain was stored in the depot of the city museum until it was completely restored and returned to its original location near the church as part of the extensive reconstruction of the Old Square. It was re-inaugurated - almost a hundred years after its first inauguration - on October 27, 1998 on the occasion of the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Republic. A bronze bowl with a statue of three putti in a pyramid composition sits enthroned on a granite base. The work by the German sculptor Cuno von Uechtritz-Steinkirch is intended to symbolize the dominion of the waters.

Old Town Hall Sokolov

Highlight • Historical Site

The Old Town Hall served as the seat of the city administration until the 1950s. After reconstruction between 1994 and 1995, it became the representative headquarters of the brown coal mining company Sokolovská uhelná. The building was built around 1540. During the siege of the city by the Saxon army in 1632, it burned down. In 1794, lightning struck the town hall tower. The tower was rebuilt, but then destroyed by fire in 1873 and not rebuilt after that. It was rebuilt in the classicist style in 1835 and 1836. The building also served as a district court, governor's office, district captain's apartment, city archives, stables, dance hall and prison. The historic town hall has retained many features of its original appearance of the so-called Saxon Renaissance. The Renaissance roof has also been preserved in its original form.

Staré Náměstí (Old Square), Sokolov

Highlight • Historical Site

The old town mile is actually called "Old Square" (Staré námesti) and is the historical centre of Sokolov. At the eastern end you will find the Church of St. James the Greater, at the western end the Church of the Franciscan Monastery, which is dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. In between are the Old Town Hall and the Marian Column, as well as the Jubilee Fountain and the Falconer's Fountain. And of course lots of shops, cafés and restaurants.

Falconer Fountain, Sokolov

Highlight • Monument

The octagonal fountain with the sculpture of a falconer is closely linked to the legend of the city's founding. It was installed in 1717 at the city's expense. However, it is most likely an older work; the life-size falconer statue itself bears the inscription 1674 on its base and the fountain basin resembles the fountain with tritons in the castle courtyard and dates from 1672 to 1673. The creator of the base, column and shell is considered to be the sculptor Wilhelm Fellsner from Eger, who the city had already commissioned to build the Marian column in 1699. The sculpture itself was created by an unknown folk artist. The falconer is dressed in period costume, he holds a bird of prey in his bent right hand and a hunting dog stands next to his left leg.
