Hidden in the park, it looks carefully at the four corners of the world.

"

The monument was created in 1974. Its author was Teodozjusz Butyniec - a sculptor, a long-time employee of the State Folk Song and Dance Ensemble "Mazowsze". The monument is a reference to Slavic traditions and the cult of Świętowit.

In the highest part of the statue, the author carved four heads of the god, but they are placed on the corners of the obelisk. Below the face, there are panels with the names of towns and symbols:

Otrębusy - under which there is an image of a bulging clay vessel with ears,

Kanie - two birds with combs on their heads, sitting on the branches of a tree,

Karolin* - under which there is a sickle and 3 ears of grain,

and the last panel: XXX with the head of a predatory bird and the blade of an axe (?).

In the Otrębusy area, there are archaeological sites from the middle phase of the Bronze Age, around 1200 BC, and from the beginning of the Iron Age, 700-500 BC, in which the Przeworsk culture and the Lusatian culture developed. There are also documented traces of a cemetery from the Late La Tène period, settlements from the Bronze Age, and traces of settlements from the early Middle Ages.

The areas of the Brwinów commune – where Otrębusy is located – in the 1st century AD belonged to one of the largest metallurgical centres in Mazovia, based on rich deposits of bog iron ore. An interesting exhibition of remains from that time can be seen in nearby Pruszków at the Museum of Ancient Metallurgy of Mazovia.

As Dorota Słowińska writes in her book "Pradzieje Brwinów i jego okolic", the area of the Brwinów commune is characterised by a high density of archaeological sites. They are associated with almost all periods of prehistory. As a result of surface searches conducted in Brwinów and its immediate vicinity, at least 136 archaeological sites were recorded."
