Boundary marker in Biskupice Radłowskie

The limestone boundary marker features a quadrilateral prism shape with beveled corners and displays a stone roof topped with a decorative ball.

Cardinal Zbigniew Oleśnicki established this border marker in 1450 to resolve territorial disputes between episcopal lands and neighboring noble estates.

The marker contains four bas-reliefs depicting a crucifix, religious figures, and the cardinal's coat of arms with Gothic lettering inscriptions.

The monument stands on the eastern side of road number 964 as it turns toward Zabawa hamlet, making it accessible for visitors.

This structure remains the oldest preserved boundary marker in Poland, constructed from regional Pińczów limestone with detailed medieval craftsmanship.
