Słupnik

Słupnik is a bronze dwarf sculpture positioned along the streets of the old town district. The figure depicts a kneeling pose and integrates directly into the surrounding paved streets and historic buildings.

The sculpture was unveiled in 2008 as part of a broader artistic initiative to enliven the old town streets. The dwarf project began as a grassroots artistic movement and expanded into an organized collection over time.

This dwarf is part of the collection that has become woven into daily life in the old town. Locals and visitors treat these figures as natural parts of the streets they walk through.

The sculpture sits on pedestrian pathways within walking distance throughout the old town center. The surrounding streets are flat and easily navigable, making it simple to find and view from multiple angles.

The sculpture was created following a citizen's proposal, marking one of the rare instances where public input directly shaped the collection. This reflects how the project grew as a participatory effort rather than a top-down initiative.
