Archduke Albrecht Monument, Bronze equestrian monument near Albertina Museum, Vienna, Austria

The ten-meter-high bronze equestrian statue depicts Archduke Albrecht mounted on horseback, positioned on a granite pedestal with bronze relief decorations.

Created by sculptor Kaspar von Zumbusch in 1899, the monument commemorates Archduke Albrecht, who served as Inspector General of the Austro-Hungarian Army for thirty-six years.

The monument represents the military achievements of the Habsburg dynasty through its neo-Baroque design and incorporates detailed bronze reliefs highlighting Albrecht's military victories.

The statue stands in front of the Albertina Museum, with direct access from Operngasse street and within walking distance from the Vienna State Opera.

The monument's unveiling ceremony included a 72-gun salute and was postponed for one year following the assassination of Empress Elisabeth in 1898.
