Europe's Tallest Virgin Mary Statue Unveiled in Rural Poland A 55. 6 meter concrete statue of the Virgin Mary has been erected in Konotopie, rural Poland.
The statue, touted as Europe's tallest, is an exercise in devotion that raises more questions than it answers. The location of the statue is significant.
Commissioned by a millionaire couple who live locally, it stands in a field miles from any population center. This deliberate isolation suggests a desire to separate the devout from the secular.
