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.
