Svetovid from a church in Lipnica Murowana (faces were cut out, there is only a hat and a post)
[An interesting component is also the bar supporting the altar from its back. Allegedly, it is an old sculpture of Svetovid.]

Svetovid from Babia Góra near Choroszcz – not far from Białystok
It is interesting to state that standing in the focal center of the circle and directing our eyes towards the church tower in Choroszcz we see precisely the mast of the relay station in Krynice corresponding to the dome of the temple. Carrying on, we reach the junction with the ring road of the Narew National Park (marked in blue) and pass on the left, which is a bit out of the way, an erratic boulder, called ” Uprising Stone”. Then, we cut the Trail of Włókniarze marked with blue colour and we get at Babia Mountain, common hornbeam (most likely it was a place of the worship of Svetovid (the 10 th century). At the top of the hill there is a wooden replica of the statue of Svetovid (replica from Zbrucz) and a symbolic military cemetery from 1915.
Damage to the sculpture from Choroszcz, July 3rd 2009
July 3, 2009, 8:26
A sculpture of the pagan god Svetovid standing on Babia Mountain near the village of Kościuki in the municipality of Choroszcz was damaged. At the point of contact of the main column with the image of the four heads there is a mark after using a saw. The vandal did not cut the wood to the end, so the head of the god still holds on the figure.
Apart from damaging the head, the base of the sculpture was damaged as well: special stone protection preventing the wood against rotting was gouged out of the ground. It looks as if someone wanted to break Svetovid from the ground. Now the figure is exposed to direct moisture.
“This is mindless vandalism” – says Jan Adamski, expert and lover of local history – “Svetovid was an important symbol, a souvenir after our ancestors, it testified their spirituality. It is Svetovid from which comes the name “Światkowizna” which later changed into “Sieśkowizna”, and this – in today’s “Szyszkowizna”. Above all, however, Svetovid is a unique tourist attraction. I do not understand who could deliberately tried to devastate it. “
The police from Choroszcz got to know about the incident from us. The police duty officer assured that even today (07/03/09)
the police would go to see the figure.
The figure of Svetovid stands on Babia mountain near the Kościuki village close to Choroszcz. It is a copy of the statue of the Slavic deity found in Zbrucz in Ukraine. According to historians, Babia mountain was a place of the old pagan cults. The sculpture was erected here in 1998. The initiator of the project was Sławomir Halicki, then director of the Cultural Center in Choroszcz, now Mayor of Suraż. Initially, the sculpture stood for a short time in the seat of the Cultural Centre building, and was also the pride of the Dominican Fair. (ida)

A stone of Svetovid built into a church on the island of Rugen (moved from Altenkirchen, which was built in 1215 – it is to be a humiliating position – horizontal, overturned – the old god died and is buried here). However, he was embedded by Slavic builders in Alenkirchen in such a place that everobody that was passing had to take out a sword of a sheath and lean the head down walking next to him.
