Nicolaus Copernicus Monument in Torun
Fryderyk Abraham Tieck, a sculptor from Berlin created the statue in 1853 commissioned from the German Copernicus Society. It is a cast bronze statue representing Copernicus in a professor's robe, holding an armillary shere in his left hand.
There is an inscription in Latin engraved on the granite plaque which says,"Nicolaus Copernicus, a citizen of Toruń, moved the earth and halted the Sun and the sky".
