The sculpture "The Knights of Peace" by Professor Antoni Hajdecky, Poland, has been standing on the foundations of a former anti-aircraft position from the Second World War since 1980. In many languages around the world, this sculpture bears the word peace. Four heads are recognizable, flags that flutter in the wind without aggression. The sculpture made of shiny red-violet brick is not intended to be a general reminder of peace, it is intended to remind us that nature also needs peace.
