History of the monument

The monument was built in autumn in 1848. The dedication ceremony was held on November 23, 1848. In 1926, thanks to Count Mycielski the property was with stylized battle scythes. During the German occupation, the statue was destroyed by the Nazis. After the Second World War in 1945, the monument was reconstructed, and in 1961 the monument was placed on an eight-meter mound. In 1998 the monument was renovated and was celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Spring of Nations.
