Krzyż Pomnik ks. Jerzego Popiełuszki we Włocławku, Memorial cross monument near Włocławek Dam, Poland.
The metal and glass cross monument stands on a grassy peninsula by the Vistula River, featuring illuminated elements visible from considerable distances.
The monument marks the location where authorities recovered Father Jerzy Popiełuszko's body in 1984, following his murder by state security officers.
Pope John Paul II consecrated this memorial during his fourth pilgrimage to Poland in 1991, making it a national symbol of resistance.
The monument site includes maintained pathways and viewing areas, with regular flower offerings and candles placed beneath the bulletproof glass cross.
The structure incorporates the original papal altar cross from the 1991 mass, transformed into a permanent memorial at the dam's edge.
