The statue of the Virgin Mary erected in the Polish town of Konotopie stands 55.6 meters (182 feet) tall. Made of concrete and steel beams, it is the tallest Marian sculpture in Europe.

Rising to a height of over 180 feet from ground level, the statue of Our Lady of Mercy exceeds in height the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil and the Christ the King statue in Poland.
