Racibórz, Italy
Sosienka was a solitary Scotch pine that grew on Sosienka Hill in the Brzezie district of Racibórz, Poland. Designated a natural monument in 1963, it was vandalized and set on fire in early 2000, leading to its felling by the fire department. Estimated to have lived nearly 200 years, Sosienka was a
symbol of Brzezie, featured on the seal of the former Gmina Brzezie in the early 20th century, as well as local organizational emblems. The tree inspired the naming of the hill, surrounding area, and a nearby street, Sosienkowa Street.
