Prince Eugene of Savoy memorial, Bronze equestrian monument in Heldenplatz, Austria

The bronze statue depicts Prince Eugene of Savoy mounted on horseback, positioned on a high pedestal in front of the Neue Burg building.

Anton Dominik Fernkorn completed this memorial in 1865, commemorating Prince Eugene's military victories against the Ottoman Empire and his service to three Habsburg emperors.

The monument features inscriptions on three sides highlighting Prince Eugene's achievements, including the Battle of Zenta in 1697 and the capture of Belgrade in 1717.

The memorial stands in central Vienna's Heldenplatz square, near the National Library and the Weltmuseum, with wheelchair access available for visitors.

The statue pairs with another equestrian monument of Archduke Karl in the same square, both created by Fernkorn to form a symmetrical composition.
