The statue of St. Adalbert is located outside the church, centrally standing in front of the entrance to the church, one should be directed to the left. The statue is located in a niche in the southern elevation of the Church. In 2001, Pope John Paul II consecrated the church to the Minor Basilica.
The statue is made of sandstone depicting the figure of St. Wojciech, the saint patron of the Minor Basilica. St. Adalbert was a Czech Catholic clergyman, Bishop of Prague, Benedictine, missionary, martyr. He is a saint of the Catholic Church, apostle of Prussia and saint patron of Poland.
According to tradition, St. Adalbert was to be the author of the song Bogurodzica, which although not confirmed by source materials, in the opinion of Józef Birkenmajer published in the monograph about the work (1937) can be associated with a probable inspiration for the work coming from the group of missionaries, confreres of St. Adalbert from the Benedictine Order, who came with him to Poland. The style of the statue is eclecticism.
