The Statue of Christ the King in Świebodzin is a 36-meter-tall reinforced concrete Art Deco monument completed in 2010. It stands as one of the tallest statues of Jesus Christ in the world, surpassing the height of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro when including its mound. The figure is constructed upon a 16-meter-high mound, bringing the total height of the structure to 52 meters. The head itself, topped with a 3-meter gold-plated crown, measures approximately 3 meters in height. The statue is a prominent landmark of the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Świebodzin. Construction was spearheaded by local priest Sylwester Zawadzki. The statue is located on the outskirts of the town near the A2 motorway route.
