Kovanice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

A life-size sandstone statue of Saint John of Nepomuk stands in Kovanice approximately 15 metres northwest of the perimeter wall of the cemetery grounds at St. Wenceslas Church. The date 1728 is carved into its pedestal. The statue belongs to a group of stone sculptures from the 18th century created in the workshop of Josef Jiří Jelínek in Kosmonosy.

St. Wenceslas Church in Kovanice contains a painting of Saint Wenceslas by V. Kramolín dating from around 1770. The Jewish cemetery in Kovanice was established in 1830 as a burial place for the Jewish communities of Kovanice, Nymburk, Poděbrady and Křinec. It covers 1,457 square metres and contains 282 gravestones arranged in regular rows. A memorial plaque at the entrance commemorates the victims of the Holocaust. The Jewish cemetery is locked; the key is available from the Kovanice municipal office.
