Tell Monument

Switzerland

The 'Tell Monument' (Telldenkmal) is a memorial to William Tell in the market place of Altdorf, Canton of Uri, Switzerland. The bronze statue by sculptor Richard Kissling was inaugurated on August 28, 1895, at the foot of an old tower. It shows the Swiss national hero with his crossbow and accompanied by his son. The traditional date of the Rütlischwur, long thought to have taken place in 1307, is engraved in the base.
