Tips from the Community
Beata's bench was unveiled in August 2017 in front of the famous "Albatros" restaurant (built in 1962 according to a design by Henryk Gomółka). The bronze statue, depicting the heroine of Janusz Laskowski's song "Beata," was created by sculptor Michał Selerowski. The artist posed for the artist: Barbara Bujnowska, winner of the "Gazeta Współczesna" poll, who was chosen by the residents of the Podlaskie Voivodeship to succeed the legendary Beata. The poll was organized by "Gazeta Współczesna" in 2015, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the song's composition. The bench on which Beata sits recalls the story of a beautiful love that unfolded in Augustów over 50 years ago and resonated at parties across Poland for many years. The Beata bench project was implemented with the support and involvement of many institutions, including the initiator and media partner "Gazeta Współczesna" and sponsors, including the Augustów Consumer Cooperative "Społem", the British American Tobacco factory in Augustów, and the MPPB J.W. Ślepsk.
