    After Pomerania was restored to Poland in 1920, one of the new landowners, Count Aleksander de Rosset (Member of Parliament of the Second Polish Republic) funded a monument commemorating the place where the Polish King Sigismund III Vasa landed after his shipwreck on November 2, 1598, while returning from an expedition to the crown of Sweden. The obelisk was topped with a sphere with a figure of an eagle taking flight. A year later, on August 2, 1932, the same count opened a tourist hostel of the Maritime and Colonial League called "Nad Lisim Jarem", which was located opposite the monument. Today, unfortunately, there is no trace of this building, and its existence is reminded of by photos.
    In 1939, the obelisk was deprived of the eagle in unknown circumstances; the plaque was removed and kept by Kashubian residents of the area during the war. After the end of World War II, the plaque was returned to its place, but the eagle did not stand on the ball until May 25, 1996, thanks to the efforts of the Society of Enthusiasts.
    An important element of the obelisk area in the interwar period was a mast with a Polish flag, this element was restored to its original place by the head of Jastrzębia Góra in 2018, on the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining independence.
