Josef Szwejk monument in Sanok, Literary character memorial statue in Sanok, Poland
The Josef Szwejk monument features a bronze statue seated on a bench along 3 Maja Street, creating an engaging representation of the character.
The monument pays tribute to the fictional soldier Szwejk, who according to the 1923 novel by Jaroslav Hasek visited Sanok on July 15, 1915.
The statue captures the character from The Good Soldier Schweik, a novel that illustrates military life through satirical perspectives during World War I.
Located in a central pedestrian area, the statue includes a bench where visitors can sit next to the bronze figure and take photographs.
Artist Adam Przybysz designed this memorial combining functional seating with artistic expression, making it both a monument and gathering place.
