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.
