Monument of Jakub Weiher, Bronze monument at Market Square in Wejherowo, Poland.
This bronze statue depicts Jakub Weiher in a dignified pose on the Market Square of Wejherowo, dressed in 17th-century clothing with his right hand extended forward. The figure stands as a central landmark in this important city location.
The monument was erected in 1991 to honor Jakub Weiher, who founded Wejherowo and served as Voivode of Malbork from 1643 to 1657. It marks the recognition of his role in establishing the city.
The statue serves as a gathering point during local festivals and community events throughout the year. It keeps the founder's memory alive in the daily life of residents and visitors.
