The monument of Duke Boguslaw X and Anna Jagiellonka

The monument was unveiled in 1974, and its creators were Leonia Chmielnik and Anna Paszkiewicz. A careful observer will quickly notice that Anna Jagiellon appears to be the same height as Bogislaw X, as she stands on a step beside her husband. 
This artistic choice was made largely due to the political correctness of the time: the sculptors did not want the Polish princess to appear less significant than the Pomeranian duke.

Just like Poland, the Duchy of Pomerania also experienced a period of fragmentation – a time when the state was divided into small duchies ruled by competing members of the same dynasty. The unification of Pomerania into a single, cohesive entity is owed to the very duke you are looking at. But this is not Duke Bogislaw X the Great’s only achievement. He also secured stable borders through his marriage to the Polish princess Anna Jagiellon, daughter of King Casimir IV Jagiellon. Without a doubt, he is the most important ruler of the Griffins – the longest-ruling dynasty in Europe.

The couple married in 1491. They had three daughters and five sons: Anna, George I, Casimir, Elisabeth, Barnim, Sophia, Barnim IX the Pious, and Otto IV. Thanks to this marriage, the Griffin dynasty continued to rule Pomerania until 1637.
