A monument to Mieszko I, the first Cieszyn Duke. An obelisk of the Emperor Francis Joseph I, which had been left abandoned until 1931, was used in the new monument by the well-known sculptor Jan Raszka. The figure of duke was cleared away by the Nazi invader in 1939; however, the figure was put back in its place again in 1957.
In domestic affairs Mieszko proved to be a shrewd ruler. He carried out intensive colonisation, tripling the number of settlements in the Cieszyn Castellany. He contributed to the growth of towns, conferring various degrees of municipal rights on Cieszyn, Oświęcim, Zator, Bielsko, Skoczów and Frysztat.
