Statue of Venus of Hrádok

The statue of Hrádok's Venus will probably be remembered by many of you, especially from a coin worth two Slovak crowns. Venus of Hrádok is actually the first found Neolithic statue to depict a sitting woman.

To this honour, the small statuette was efficiently transformed into a 2.7 meter high portrait. It is a monumental memorial, which is a magnificent copy of the original statue of Hrádok's Venus. The author of this sculpture is the artist Jaroslav Gubric.

The Statue of Hrádok's Venus stands on the pedestal in a park in Nitrianský Hrádok, surrounded by a colorful flowerbed of various flowers and ornamental shrubs.

There are also benches in its vicinity, so many visitors can perfectly enjoy this magical atmosphere and you can also think a bit about the life of people from the Stone Age.
