Ławeczka Alicji Habsburg w Żywcu

Ławeczka Alicji Habsburg w Żywcu, Bronze bench monument in Śródmieście, Żywiec, Poland.

Ławeczka Alicji Habsburg is a bronze bench sculpture that functions as both a seat and a memorial, depicting a seated woman holding a handkerchief with the Habsburg coat of arms. The artwork sits within the castle park area, allowing visitors to sit alongside the figure itself.

Alicja Habsburg, born Alicja Ankarcrona in Sweden in 1889, lived in Żywiec from 1920 to 1945 as the morganatic wife of Karl Olbracht Habsburg and mother of Princess Maria Krystyna. During World War II she was a member of the Armia Krajowa (Home Army). After the war she was forced to emigrate to Sweden, where she died in 1985.

The figure holds a handkerchief bearing the Habsburg coat of arms in her left hand. The bench stands near the former home of her daughter, Princess Maria Krystyna Habsburg, who lived there until 2012. The sculpture was created as part of the Miniature Park project run by the Żywiec County Office.

The bronze bench stands in the castle park near the Miniature Park, in the Śródmieście district of Żywiec. It is freely accessible all year round, with no entry fee and no opening hours.

Artist Bronislaw Krzysztof designed this memorial as a functional bench where visitors can actually sit down. This practical yet artistic approach creates an uncommon experience where you share a seat with the person being commemorated.
