Miś Maciuś, Bronze bear monument in Gniew, Poland
The Miś Maciuś statue measures 0.75 meters in height and weighs 30 kilograms, standing near Sambora Street in Gniew.
The monument commemorates a legend from the 1626-1629 Polish-Swedish War when animals gathered in St. Nicholas Church while residents joined the Battle of Gniew.
Since 2010, this bronze bear serves as the official mascot of Gniew, wearing different outfits including chainmail, nobility attire, and firefighter costume.
The monument features a boulder with a bear paw imprint at its base and stands near the Garden of History, providing additional context for visitors.
Local tradition suggests visitors can hear bear growls when passing between the church walls and townhouses on Sambora Street.
