Dąbrowski Mound

Dąbrowski Mound is an earthen monument in Pierzchów village that rises roughly 7 meters and is topped with a commemorative structure. The site honors General Jan Henryk Dąbrowski and his role in Polish military history.

The mound was built to honor General Dąbrowski, who led the Polish Legions and played a key role in armed resistance against Prussia. These events shaped how he is remembered in Polish history today.

The mound holds meaning for the nearby community through the local school that bears the general's name, keeping his memory alive through education. This connection transforms the site into a place where visitors can sense how local identity ties to broader national history.

The site sits within Gdów municipality and is accessible for a brief visit where photography is welcome. The location is straightforward to reach and offers enough space for visitors to move around comfortably.

The general honored here is actually mentioned in the Polish national anthem, a rare distinction for a historical figure. His childhood home still stands near the mound, showing how deeply his family was tied to this area.
