Not just a beautiful genre sculpture. Next to it, on the banks of the Neman River, an ancient castle with a bridge over the moat stands. I strongly recommend it! 😁
Monument to Dpvyd Gorodensky, military commander and politician of the time of Gediminas. He became famous for his victories over the Teutons. According to some historical sources, he is the son of Prince Dovmont of Pskov, according to others, Gediminas' brother. For a long time he was a castellan of Grodno, and after his death he was buried near the walls of the Kalozhsky church.
It was funny if you saw the cult last summer... they burned torches near the monument, it was not clear to me, but it was very interesting

The attitude towards this work of art is not unambiguous.
As a historical figure of David Gorodennsky, she definitely deserved to be immortalized in our memory, but I personally do not like the very execution of this monument.
Of course, such facilities are needed to enhance the tourist image of our city, but we would like their implementation to be approached more thoughtfully. So that the townspeople like it, because we have to live with it now.
Tourists come and go, and now we see it every day.
There is nothing special about the sculpture itself, the only thing is, walking around the city for the first time, you will still pass by, because this is the road to the castles
