Hygieia monument in Poznań, Water well with Greek goddess statue on Plac Wolności in Poznań, Poland.
The Hygieia monument features a green bronze statue of a seated goddess holding a bowl, positioned above an ornate water well structure.
Edward Raczyński initiated the monument's creation in 1841 alongside Poznań's waterworks, with sculptor Albert Wolff designing the statue based on Raczyński's wife features.
The monument represents the Greek goddess Hygieia, symbolizing the connection between clean water supply and public health in European urban development.
The monument stands near the Raczyński Library entrance, with paved pathways and lighting allowing visitors to view it at any time.
The statue underwent multiple relocations before settling in 1971 outside the library, after initially being placed on Raczyński's grave by his wife.
