Praděd’s Gallery in Jiříkov

The Praděd’s Gallery in Jiříkov in the Bruntál region is intended especially for tourists who come to the Jeseníky Mountains with children and are looking for distraction. Jiří Halouzka, a carver, exhibits his works here, of which there are over 250.

The gallery is housed in a fallow deer farm and features a giant nativity scene where the figures are depicted life-size. So far there are over 150 figures in this crib, including an elephant or a camel.

The largest statue and another unique feature of the gallery at Halouzeks’ is a carved statue of the ruler of the mountains – Grandfather Praděd, which is over ten metres high and weighs fifteen tonnes. The third unique feature of this open-air exhibition hall is a giant painting of Praděd’s empire. It is carved from lime wood and protected from the rain by a canopy.

All three unique pieces of Halouzek’s carving art are listed in the Czech Book of Records.
