Słupnik

Słupnik is a small bronze figure standing in central Wrocław next to historic buildings and measuring just a few decimeters tall. The statue depicts a distinctive character that, like many other dwarf figures in the city, can be found at unexpected corners and locations.

This figure was installed in 2006 as part of a city-wide initiative that commemorates life in the 1980s. The action started when artists and citizens reshaped the urban landscape with small bronze figures.

This dwarf belongs to a collection of hundreds of bronze figures that shape the city's character and turn the visit into a playful discovery game for many travelers. The figures are woven into local stories and the everyday rhythm of Wrocław, inviting visitors to explore the city in an unusual way.

The location is easy to reach on foot through the old town area and stands near well-known buildings. Visitors can obtain maps locally to systematically discover the various figures scattered throughout the city.

The name refers to its location near a post, which gave the figure its distinctive name. This small linguistic connection shows how each figure has its own story tied to the immediate surroundings.
