Google cache of www.biebrza.org.pl/pol/kult/hist.html , this is an <br/>
old tripoint marker (placed in 1545) on the tripoint of Mazovia <br/>
(Poland), Prussia, and Lithuania. It served as a boundary marker on <br/>
the border between Poland-Lithuania, later Poland, and Prussia, later <br/>
Germany, until 1939 (excluding a certain period of course when there <br/>
was no Poland...).<br/>
