The monument to Wincenty Witos - the peasant leader of the Polish people's movement, founder and president of PSL "Piast", and three-time Prime Minister of Poland was erected in Łowicz in 2020, but the ceremonial unveiling took place only, due to the pandemic, in 2021.

The historical mural was created on the initiative of the Historical Association of the 10th Infantry Regiment in Łowicz in the Kostka housing estate in Łowicz. The painting commemorates three figures associated with the regiment and Łowicz sports. They are: - boxing enthusiast and physical education teacher, platoon leader Zdzisław "Lelon" Lelonkiewicz; - former Cracovia footballer, referee and PZPN activist, colonel Franciszek Jachieć; - captain Andrzej Drozd, participant of the Polish-Bolshevik war, prisoner of war in the Starobielsk camp, who was murdered in Kharkiv.
