The monument to Alexander Count Fredro, the 19th-century comedy writer and poet, was unveiled in 1879 in Lviv. <\/p>\n
After World War II, when the former Polish Borderlands were occupied by the Soviet Union, the sculpture was taken first to Wilan\u00f3w and then to Wroc\u0142aw. Next to the City Hall – in the place where the equestrian statue of the Prussian ruler Frederick William III used to stand – has stood since 1956. <\/p>\n
Its presence in the capital of Lower Silesia has an additional dimension – many Lvivians settled here after 1945. <\/p>\n
Count Fredro’s pen, which he usually holds in his hand, is often stolen from the monument.<\/p>\n","categories":["Monuments and sculptures"],"lat":51.11002815,"lng":17.030685652286714}
