Why Stonehenge? Because it looks like a miniature of the famous megalithic circle from the Neolithic and Bronze Age. The English Stonehenge, however, was associated with the cult of the Moon and the Sun, and probably served astronomical purposes. This Grodkowski, however, was to serve as a commemoration of important historical events in the history of Poland and the city.

The monument was built in 1974. The first 7 concrete poles reminded of the painful period of post-war Poland. The last two, already made of granite, were created after the period of political transformation and are a tribute to the victims of the war and the regime. The obelisks themselves underwent a metamorphosis after the entry into force of the decommunization act. Inscriptions commemorating, among others, October revolution. There are also those about scouts fighting in the Gray Ranks and those mentioning Poles who died in Siberia.

The famous stones, until recently a reminder of communism, today, after renovation, remind of such events as the 100th anniversary of regaining independence, the 750th anniversary of the city or the 250th anniversary of the birth of the great inhabitant of Grodno, Józef Elsner.
