Kufer Reymonta

Kufer Reymonta is a bronze monument on Piotrkowska Street in Łódź depicting Nobel Prize winner Władysław Reymont seated on a travel trunk while holding a notebook. The sculpture stands near the Administrative Court and Julius Kindermann Palace in the city center.

The monument was unveiled on September 7, 2001, as part of the Gallery of Great Łodzians, a 1999 initiative honoring notable figures from the city. This series of sculptures in the downtown area chronicles important people who shaped the city's identity.

The statue displays excerpts from Reymont's novel 'Ziemia obiecana' on its right page, connecting the literary figure to Łódź's industrial past. This detail helps visitors understand how the writer's work reflected the city's transformation during his lifetime.

The monument is located at Piotrkowska 137 in the city center and is easily accessible on foot. The site sits among other attractions, making it a natural stop while exploring downtown Łódź.

Artists Robert Sobociński and Marcel Szytenchelm created a work depicting Reymont with a travel trunk, symbolizing the writer who documented rural Polish life in his early works. This uncommon composition merges the author's nature as a wanderer and observer with his literary mission.
