Monument of Jakub Weiher, Bronze monument at Market Square in Wejherowo, Poland.
The bronze statue depicts Jakub Weiher standing in a dignified position, wearing period clothing from the 17th century with his right hand extended forward.
The monument, constructed in 1991, commemorates Jakub Weiher, who established the city of Wejherowo and served as Voivode of Malbork from 1643 to 1657.
The statue represents the connection between Wejherowo's past and present, standing at the center of local celebrations and community gatherings throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the monument by following signs to Market Square, where information panels provide details about Jakub Weiher's role in founding the city.
During winter 2016, snow accumulation on the statue created an appearance similar to Darth Vader, leading to international media coverage and special local events.
