Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Grób Nieznanego Żołnierza, Tomb of the unknown soldier
Poland, Warsaw
"Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" is a symbolic monument to all those who died fighting for the independence of Poland. The monument, located on Jozef Pilsudski Square, was built after the First World War according to the project of architect Stanislav Ostrovsky. The idea of ​​creating a monument came from the "Committee for the Memory of the Fallen", with funds raised thanks to donations from citizens and patrons. The "Eternal Flame" burns near the monument and the guard of honor is on duty around the clock.

The Warsaw Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was opened on November 2.1925 under the colonnade of the Saxon Palace. On this day, the remains of a nameless soldier, brought during a special ceremony from the cemetery of the defenders of Lviv, were laid to him. The artist-sculptor Stanislav Kazimir Ostrovsky was the creator of the grave. At the end of the Second World War, the grave was seriously damaged as a result of an explosion. Already in 1946, the monument was rebuilt and reopened. Currently, it is a three-arcade fragment of the preserved colonnade of the Saxon Palace.
