Neptune Monument in Hel

Neptune Monument in Hel, Baroque monument in Hel, Poland.

The Neptune Monument in Hel is a granite statue showing the Roman god of the sea, standing on the seaside walkway along the peninsula. The work was completed in 2018 and now marks a notable spot for visitors walking the coastal path.

The sculpture was carved over two years by self-taught sculptor Tadeusz Biniewicz and finished on 15 December 2018. Owner Arkadiusz Żółtowski first intended it for Płock, then lent it to Hel for ten years after visiting in July 2019. It was transported to Hel on 24 August 2019 and installed on 14 May 2020. In 2023 the owner terminated the loan; after mediation the statue was dismantled in 2024 and shipped to Australia.

The figure is a copy of Giambologna's bronze Neptune from Bologna's Fontana del Nettuno, cast in 1564 for Cardinal Carlo Borromeo. The original trident inspired the Maserati emblem. Hel's granite version, carved by self-taught sculptor Tadeusz Biniewicz, stood on the promenade from 2020 until 2024, when owner Arkadiusz Żółtowski had it removed for Australia.

The monument sits right on the seaside walkway and is easy to reach on foot while exploring the peninsula. Nearby restaurants and shops make it simple to combine a visit with other activities.

The sculpture is the first stone version of the Bologna Neptune and, at 5.5 m from base to trident tip, the largest stone Neptune in the world. Its creator, self-taught sculptor Tadeusz Biniewicz, carved it from white Blanco Salinas granite imported from Portugal; the figure alone is 3.4 m tall and weighs about 2.3 tonnes.
