Monument to Frederick Chopin

The bronze monument to Frederick Chopin, the most famous monument in Warsaw, is located in Lazienki Park. The sculpture, by Vaclav Szymanowski, depicts the figure of a composer sitting under an old willow. Chopin's sculpture is now very popular. The monument is captured not only in newspapers, postcards, calendars, stamps, but even there is a reproduction in Japan.

The expression of the composer’s face is dreamy and sad, and the willow is a place for the creativity of his unique compositions. The monument has a very interesting history. It was to be erected in honor of the centenary of the famous composer in 1910. But, first due to the controversy surrounding the sculpture, and then due to the war, it was not discovered until 1926. Over time, the German occupation of Poland began, where the Germans completely blew up the monument. But, in 1958, with the great efforts of the Poles, the sculpture was completely resumed.

Tourists who travel to Poland are sure to visit and take pictures at the famous bronze statue of Frederick, who has experienced many adventures.
