It was unveiled on November 20, 1898 (founded by the city of Lviv). It is the work of Lviv sculptor Tadeusz Barącz, cast in bronze at Artur Krupp's Viennese workshop. The king was depicted in a traditional national dress - a zupping and robe, when he jumps over a destroyed Turkish cannon on a battle steed with a mace in his hand. The monument was erected in Lviv in the square on Hetman's Walls. In 1944, the leaders of the popular authorities did not like the hero of the noble Polish Republic, because they were considering a plan to change the statue to a monument to Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Finally, in 1950, Jan III Sobieski went to Poland, where he rested at the Wilanów Palace. A magnificent monument tried to acquire Krakow and Wroclaw, eventually landed in Gdansk. The ceremonial unveiling of the monument took place on June 26, 1965, it gathered numerous crowds of Gdańsk residents, and quickly became a famous symbol of Gdańsk. In 1994, the mace was stolen from the proudly outstretched royal hand. The monument was renovated in the second half of the nineties. The missing sign of Hetman's authority was recreated.
