Władysław Sikorski Bench in Inowrocław, Bronze memorial bench in Solanka Park, Inowrocław, Poland
The Władysław Sikorski Bench is a bronze memorial sculpture in Solanka Park depicting the general seated in a relaxed pose and weighing around 400 kilograms. It sits along the main pathways of the park and functions as both a statue and functional seating for visitors.
The memorial was created in 2005 to honor a general whose family lived on a nearby estate from 1923 to 1939. That period marked his growing political importance, which later led to his role leading Poland's government in exile.
The bench commemorates an important Polish military leader and creates a direct link between visitors and his political legacy. Sitting on it offers a personal way to connect with this chapter of Polish history.
The bench sits in the park between a concert shell and a medical facility, making it easy to locate. Visitors can sit on the memorial while enjoying the park surroundings and taking in the moment.
The sculpture shows the general in civilian clothes rather than military uniform, reflecting his time as a writer and strategist. He spent years on his nearby estate writing military works before being called to political leadership.
