Krasnal Kozanek, Dwarf statue in Pilczyce-Kozanów-Popowice Północne, Poland.
Krasnal Kozanek is a bronze figure in Wrocław standing about one foot tall with carefully shaped details that make it stand out among the city's street sculptures. The statue sits in a residential neighborhood in the northern part of the city and belongs to a large collection of similar figures scattered across different areas.
The sculpture was created in May 2013 as part of a movement that started in the 1980s as an artistic protest against communist rule. This collection grew from a grassroots artistic initiative that later became one of Europe's largest collections of miniature bronze figures.
This figure represents a character focused on bringing people together and settling disputes, showing how the dwarf network tells stories about community life in the city.
The statue sits in a residential area in northern Wrocław and is best found by walking through the neighborhood to explore the broader collection. Daytime visits work best since you can see the bronze details more clearly in natural light.
This figure is one of over 400 dwarfs creatively hidden throughout the city, with many appearing in unexpected places like building corners and walls. This scattered collection turns city exploration into a treasure hunt where visitors keep discovering new surprises.
