LOKACIJA

Eišiškių miesto centras

In the center of Eišiškės town stands a monument dedicated to the participants of the 1863–1864 uprising. The symbolic creation consists of two granite obelisks connected by a bell, symbolizing the joint struggle for freedom by the Lithuanian and Polish nations and the long-standing history of both states. The obelisks are engraved with the national coats of arms of Lithuania and Poland – the Vytis and the Eagle, while four granite plinths remind us of the 400-year shared history of both nations.

The monument stands in a significant historical location where the vicar of Eišiškės, priest Juzef Horbačevskis, proclaimed the manifesto of the Provisional Government, and the insurgents were led by Liudvikas Narbutas, the son of the architect of Eišiškės church, Teodor Narbutas. The monument was designed by architect Stanislaw Czetyrkowski, and the bell and national coats of arms were cast at the renowned Felczyński family bell foundry in Poland. The bell symbolizes the continuity of memory and a call for future generations to act for the benefit of the future.

“Žybartuva” supplied, manufactured, and carried out the installation work. Technical project specifications:
