Kolumna Fryderyka Wilhelma II, Monument column from 1806 in Wrocław, Poland.

The stone column stands in Szczytnicki Park and features a cylindrical structure mounted on a square base with an internal metal ladder system.

The original wooden-plaster column from 1797 commemorated King Frederick William II of Prussia until it burned in 1805 and was replaced with stone construction.

The monument represents the architectural transformation of Wrocław, reflecting the Prussian influence on the city's landscape during the early 19th century.

Located in Szczytnicki Park, the column remains accessible to visitors who can observe the architectural details and the spot where the king's statue once stood.

During the 2016 renovation works, workers discovered a fragment of the original king's statue hand within the structure of the monument.
