Figures of St. Florian, who is to guard against fire, were erected in almost every town. In those days, wooden buildings were common, hence the fires that haunted the inhabitants. The one in Czchów dates back to the 18th century. At the foot of the saint lies a Romanesque lion, probably a remnant of the first Romanesque temple that existed in this city.
