Fryderyk Chopin Monument in Żnin

Highlight • Monument

The Chopin monument in Żnin was originally created in 1926 for the Marcinkowo estate by sculptor Jakub Juszczyk and was commissioned by Wiesław Tuchołka, the first Polish district administrator of Żnin county.

In 1962, the seven-ton monument was transported from Marcinkowo to Żnin in a challenging operation that required special equipment, during which the transport platform's wheels buckled under the weight and the statue had to be secured with ropes. The monument features musical notation from Chopin's Prelude in A major instead of the composer's name, and depicts the composer in a seated position as if about to play piano.
