Tadeusz Kościuszko monument, Monument and cenotaph in Montigny-sur-Loing, France.

The Tadeusz Kościuszko monument features a vaulted crypt beneath a tumulus, with a medallion sculpted by Leplat adorning its exterior structure.

François Zeltner initiated the construction of this monument in 1834 to honor Tadeusz Kościuszko, a military leader who fought for independence in Poland and America.

The monument represents the enduring connection between Polish and French heritage through its architectural design and placement in the Fontainebleau forest.

Located on Route de Fontainebleau, the monument remains open throughout the year and provides visitors with detailed information about Kościuszko's military achievements.

The structure combines elements of a memorial chapel and cenotaph, making it a distinctive example of 19th-century commemorative architecture in France.
