Ławeczka Isaaca Bashevisa Singera w Biłgoraju

Isaac Bashevis Singer's bench memorial is a bronze sculptural monument located in the central area near Saint George's Church in Biłgoraj. The life-sized figure of the writer sits on a seat, rendered in detail by the sculptor.

The author lived in Biłgoraj from 1917 to 1921 during a formative period of his writing career. The memorial was unveiled in 2009 to honor those years and his lasting ties to the town.

The bench marks where a Nobel Prize-winning author spent formative years as a young man and deepened his connection to Polish-Jewish writing. Visitors encounter a reminder of the literary world that shaped his later work and reputation.

The monument stands in the city center and is easily accessible on foot without any special arrangements needed. Visitors can approach and view the sculpture from multiple angles at any time.

The inscription carved into the bench backrest shares personal details about the writer's time living in the town. This message transforms the seat into a place for quiet reflection and direct connection with the past.
