Golden Uhlan, Bronze equestrian monument in Kałuszyn, Poland.

The 8-meter tall Golden Uhlan statue depicts Lieutenant Andrzej Żyliński mounted on horseback, crafted in bronze with gold-colored finishing by sculptor Robert Sobociński.

The monument marks the site of a successful 1939 battle where Polish cavalry under Lieutenant Żyliński initiated an attack that led to the liberation of Kałuszyn.

This monument represents the Polish cavalry traditions and military excellence, correcting historical misconceptions about the role of cavalry during World War II.

Located 50 kilometers from Warsaw along National Road No. 2, the 30-ton monument stands visible to travelers on the international route between Warsaw and Moscow.

The creation of this first gilded monument in Poland was funded with one million PLN by Jan Żyliński, a London businessman and son of Lieutenant Andrzej Żyliński.
