Łuk Napoleona w Ślesinie, Triumphal arch in Ślesin, Poland.
The Napoleon Arch stands at the road to Sompolno, featuring a main semicircular arcade and two lower side passages for pedestrians with Ionic columns.
Built in 1811 to honor Napoleon Bonaparte, the arch was meant to welcome the Emperor during his Russian campaign, but he never saw the structure.
The eagle figure at the top of the arch represents the French imperial power and remains a symbol of the Napoleonic era in Polish territories.
Located at coordinates 52.3702° N, 18.3087° E, the monument stands near the Warta-Gopło Canal and permits visits throughout all hours of the day.
In 1972, the arch suffered severe damage from a truck collision, leading to extensive restoration works between 1976 and 1977, including traffic pattern modifications.
