Sculpture Piety - Hradište pod Vrátnom

The pedestal and the statue of Pieta and today two statues according to the inscription St. Rosalia and St. Roch, probably the statue of St. Sebastian is missing. Built according to the yearbook in 1867 after the end of cholera. It is located in the center of the village in a small fenced park together with the statue of St. Florian by a small stream.

In 1831, cholera spread throughout Slovakia. According to the book "A cholera Nyitra megyében 1831 - tol 1874 - ig" 30 people died in Hradiště that year.

In 1866, the Prussian-Austrian war broke out, which the poorly armed Austrian army lost and retreated from northern Bohemia to our region. On July 22, they signed peace in Bratislava and on July 30, the Prussian army left us! However, it brought cholera to us, which began to die in August. According to the book "A cholera Nyitra megyében" on Brezová, 274 people died of it. It certainly affected Hradiště, but the number of victims is not mentioned there.

The sculpture of the Virgin Mary of the Seven Sorrows, made in 1860 by Štefan Michalička, is beautiful, very well-preserved and especially popular with believers. The statue once stood at a crossroads at the turn to Brezová pod Bradlom. The place is known in the village as "Na Zvonárkinom". Because the municipal office building stands on this site today, the statue was transferred to the park area in front of Mr. Králik's house.
