Pomnik Fryderyka II w Bydgoszczy, Historical monument in Old Market Square, Bydgoszcz, Poland.

The Frederick II Monument stands in the Old Market Square, depicting the Prussian ruler in a long coat holding a scroll in his hand. The statue rises approximately 6 meters above the ground and reflects his connection to the city's development.

The monument was erected in 1862 to honor the Prussian king who solidified district administration and initiated canal construction in the region. It experienced several relocations between 1919 and 1945 due to political changes.

The monument represents the Prussian period in Bydgoszcz's history, designed by local artist Eduard Ludwig Uhlenhuth with funds from public donations and city authorities.

The monument sits centrally in the Old Market Square, making it easily accessible on foot with good photo angles from multiple directions. The surrounding area is open and clear, allowing visitors to view the work from various vantage points.

An identical replica of this monument exists in Letschin, Germany, preserving the same sculptural style as the original. The presence of this twin sculpture in two countries reflects the connections between the cities during the Prussian era.
