House of the Weeping Widow, Art Nouveau architectural monument on Liuteranska Street, Kyiv, Ukraine.
The three-story mansion features ornate decorative elements, including a stone woman's face on the facade with water channels creating a tear effect during rain.
The building was constructed in 1907 by architect Eduard-Ferdinand Bradtman for merchant Sergei Arshavsky before becoming a government reception venue after the revolution.
The structure represents early modernism architecture in Ukraine, incorporating natural motifs and decorative patterns characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement.
Located at coordinates 50°26′37″N 30°31′40″E, the building now functions as an official residence for diplomatic receptions and state visitor meetings.
Water flows through specific channels on the stone woman's face during rainfall, creating a natural demonstration of the building's folkloric name.
