Monument to the Defenders of the City

Monument to the Defenders of the City stands in the very centre of the Market Square in Uniejów, at Rynek 8/9. It is also known as the Monument to the Heroes of September 1939 and commemorates residents who defended Uniejów during the German invasion at the beginning of the Second World War.

A place of remembrance on the market square

The monument stands directly on the surface of Uniejów's market square, so it is difficult to miss during a walk through the city centre. The exact date the monument was erected, the name of its author, and detailed accounts of the city's defence in September 1939 are not widely documented in available sources.

Current maintenance

In 2026, cleaning works were carried out in Uniejów at sites of remembrance, including the area around this monument. The site is part of local historical heritage and remains a place where the city occasionally organises anniversary ceremonies.
