Ghost statues by artist Jakub Hadrava are placed at the St. George’s church near Plzen. Artist Jakub Hadrava created 32 plaster life-size ghost statues, which symbolize Sudeten Germans who lived in the village. St. George’s church, which was build in the northwestern Bohemian region of the Czech Republic in 1352, fell into disrepair after the roof collapsed during a funeral service in 1968. Hadrava’s aim is to make the church more attractive for visitors and to earn money for renovation work. According to voluntary church manager Petr Koukl, about 2,500 people from around the world have visited the church this year.
