Anne of Kiev, Bronze memorial statue in Andriyivsky Descent, Kyiv, Ukraine.
Anne of Kiev is a bronze statue located on Andriyivsky Descent near Saint Andrew's Church, showing a young medieval woman in traditional dress. The sculpture marks a significant historical figure whose life connected two important kingdoms of the medieval world.
The statue was installed in 2016 to honor a woman who became queen of a major European kingdom in the 11th century. Her marriage in 1051 created a direct link between the medieval powers of Eastern Europe and Western Europe.
The statue connects visitors to a key figure in medieval relations between two distant regions. Standing here, you see how one woman's life bridged two important kingdoms and their traditions.
The memorial is located in a walkable historic district with many nearby attractions to explore. Visitors can easily spend time looking at surrounding sites including churches, museums, and local craft shops.
The statue shows her holding a small model of Saint Sophia Cathedral, reflecting her education at one of medieval Europe's first schools for women. This detail makes the sculpture itself tell a story about education and opportunity.
