The monument was created by the sculptor Vojtěch Šíp from Pilsen.A bust of the poet made of marble from the Krkonoše mountains is mounted on a rough granite base.
The unveiling ceremony took place on 15 June 1924 on the spot where F. L. Čelakovský (1799-1852) probably wrote his "Forget-me-nots" and "Hundred-petaled Rose". The monument was commissioned by the local Club of Czechoslovak Tourists.
