Jest to jedna z serii figurek rycerza Kostro - legendarnego zalozyciela Kostrzyna. Kostro jest zrobiony z metalu.

This is one of a series of figurines Kostro - the legendary founder of Kostrzyn. Kostro is made of metal.

"As the legend goes, Kostrzyn took its name from the knight Kostro. A long, long time ago, in the place where Kostrzyn was located, between the rivers Cybina and Mecina, there was a vast forest. In ancient times, the brave knight Kostro often traveled this way from Poznan to Gniezno. In the virgin forest, he hunted and chased wild animals. He passed through the forest many times and often grazed here, until he met the beautiful daughter of a forester, Jagna, whom he eventually married and founded a settlement named after him, Kostrzyn.

From June 1, 2022, we are building a modern legend about the Knight Kostro, who began his journey around our city. Over the coming months and years, he will visit institutions and places that are also often visited by the Residents of Kostrzyn.

Knight Kostro will play sports, use the municipal infrastructure, and visit institutions. He will learn about the history of our municipality and admire historic buildings and charming places. His journey, in a few years, will create not only a beautiful and modern legend, but will also create a trail of miniature Knight Kostro.

Knight Kostro begins his adventure at the City Hall in Kostrzyn, taking on the role of an Official. As befits a city hall official, Kostro has important attributes with him - a pen and a briefcase. The installation of the first miniature of the knight was the final touch regarding the celebrations of the 770th anniversary of the city of Kostrzyn."
