Denkmal der Großherzogin Charlotte, Bronze memorial at Place de Clairefontaine, Luxembourg
The bronze statue of Grand Duchess Charlotte stands 2.75 meters tall, with her right arm extending from a wide coat with an upward-facing palm.
The monument honors Grand Duchess Charlotte, who ruled Luxembourg from 1919 to 1964 and led the country through World War II from exile.
The statue, created by French sculptor Jean Cardot, represents a central figure in Luxembourg's monarchy and national development during the 20th century.
The memorial is situated in central Luxembourg City, with restricted access for wheelchair users due to the layout of Place de Clairefontaine.
Local residents refer to the statue as Heeschefraa, meaning beggar woman, due to the raised palm gesture of the Grand Duchess.
