C. Godebski realized in Hal the Monument to Adrien-François Servais, decorated his house and the town hall with the figures of Justice and Truth. He made several busts of famous Belgian composers for the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Adrien-François Servais, Henri Vieuxtemps, François-Auguste Gevaert) and the one of Dr. Burggraeve, kept in the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent. In Belgium, he exhibited his works in Antwerp in 1867, and in Brussels in 1875 and 1884. In Paris, at the Montmartre cemetery, he created a bronze medallion on the tomb of Hector Berlioz, as well as a marble statue of Calliope, muse of poetry, on the tomb of Théophile Gautier. In the Père-Lachaise cemetery, an Angel adorns the tomb of the Galezowski and Tamberlick families. The Louvre museum keeps his bust of the archaeologist Henry Barbet de Jouy. In Finistère, his Monument to General Le Flô was erected in Lesneven. His Carrara marble statue of Notre-Dame-des-Naufragés at the Pointe du Raz, in the commune of Plogoff, was made in 1904, following the death of his son Ernest in Tonkin. He made busts of Johann Sebastian Bach and Beethoven for the Rumiantzeff family in Moscow, and numerous busts of Polish personalities, including the Monument to Adam Mickiewicz (1898), the famous Polish romantic poet, in Warsaw.
