This Nepomuk statue finally got some color and doesn't look as sad as the usual bridge saints.

🚲⛲✨ The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk in Metelen is a venerable symbol of protection and tradition, magnificently placed right on the bridge over the Vechte. As the patron saint of bridges and a guardian against water hazards, he has watched over the crossing and the inhabitants of Vechtedal for generations.

Johannes von Nepomuk is traditionally depicted on bridges, as legend has it he was thrown into the Vltava River. In Metelen, he stands at a central point where the history of the place and the power of the river meet. 🌊🙏
