Ławeczka Marii Cunitz w Świdnicy, Bronze bench statue in Market Square, Świdnica, Poland.
The bronze sculpture depicts Maria Cunitz seated on a bench, holding an armillary sphere and her astronomical book Urania propitia.
The monument, created by sculptor Stanisław Strzyżyński, was unveiled in March 2009 as part of the Maria Cunitz Year celebration initiated by the city.
Maria Cunitz, a 17th-century astronomer from Silesia, authored astronomical tables that simplified calculations of planetary positions through mathematical formulas.
The bench statue stands in front of the Museum of Old Merchants, providing visitors with a central meeting point for city explorations.
The sculpture includes a reproduction of Maria Cunitz's authentic signature from her 1648 letter to astronomer Johannes Hevelius.
