Where is the most famous village administrator in the country? This of course - Wąchock!
This noble site even has a monument.
The monument is located near the Cistercian Abbey, right under the windows of the Police building.
The initiator of the creation of the monument was Feliks Januchta - president of the Association of Sołtysów Ziemia Kieleckiej.
The contractor for the project was Sławomir Micek, an artist from Kielce.
The bronze statue was officially unveiled on June 28, 2003.
There is an inscription on the pedestal: "The village administrator on the homestead is equal to the voivode".
On the other hand, the figure shows the village leader sitting on a stone with a slightly tilted hat.
He rests his right hand on a wooden wagon wheel, while in his left hand he holds a mobile phone to his ear.
The first gadget was not placed on the monument by accident.
The circle refers to one of the jokes that talks about the method of choosing the village leader in Wąchock.
Well: "you let go from the highest hill near the wagon, and whose cottage he hits - he becomes the head of the village".
It is worth mentioning that Wąchock is currently managed by the mayor.
The city itself has around 2,800 inhabitants and is situated on the Kamienna River.
