EN: The Martinický obelisk, sometimes also called pyram for its shape, is located by a field road, perpendicular to the road II / 236 from Kacice to Smecno in the Kladno district in the Central Bohemian Region. The slender, 11-meter-high column was built by the officials of Karel Jan Nepomuk, Count of Clam-Martinice, in his honor in 1847. It is carved from the Železovice sandstone.
It was originally equipped with four metal plates, facing the four corners of the world, with a celebratory inscription, but these were later damaged and eventually stolen.

Karel Jan Nepomuk Clam Martinic (1792-1840) was an adjutant general in the Napoleonic Wars. He announced the defeat of Napoleon to the Allies and escorted Napoleon into exile on the island of St. Helena.
