Syrenka Monument in Powiśle, Bronze monument at Wybrzeże Kościuszkowskie Street in Śródmieście, Poland.
The Syrenka Monument stands 4.5 meters tall, combining bronze and sandstone materials to represent the mermaid symbol of Warsaw near the Vistula River.
Sculptor Ludwika Nitschowa created this monument in 1939, using 23-year-old poet and ethnography student Krystyna Krahelska as the model for the statue.
The monument depicts the Warsaw Mermaid holding a shield and sword, following the medieval tradition of the protective guardian figure from Polish mythology.
Located near the Świętokrzyski Bridge, the monument includes an accessible viewing area with direct connections to public transportation and riverside walking paths.
The statue features exact measurements of 2.75 meters for the figure itself, while the sandstone base adds an additional 1.75 meters to the total height.
