Zgryzek, Dwarf statue near Hansel & Gretel houses in Wrocław, Poland.

Zgryzek is a small bronze figure positioned near the Hansel and Gretel houses in Wrocław's Jagodno district. The dwarf sits in a recognizable pose that reflects the detailed craftsmanship typical of these city sculptures.

The figure was installed in 2015 as part of a tradition rooted in the Orange Alternative, an artistic resistance movement from the 1980s. What started as a political statement gradually transformed into a beloved symbol of the city.

This figure is one of hundreds of dwarves scattered throughout Wrocław, each chosen to represent something about local life or city stories. They have become a defining feature that shapes how visitors and residents experience the city's streets.

Finding this dwarf is easiest with a map or app that marks all the locations throughout the city. Once you know where to look, spotting the figure requires only a careful glance at street level as you walk.

Each statue in this collection carries its own registration number, making Zgryzek an officially documented artwork within a larger inventory. Many visitors create personal challenges to photograph or collect rubbings of as many dwarves as they can find throughout their stay.
