Ławeczka Alicji Habsburg, Żywiec

Alice Habsburg Bench in Zywiec - a sculpture in the form of a monumental bench, located in Zywiec Castle Park, near the Miniature Park.

The monument presents the figure of Alicja Habsburg née Ankarcrona - the Swedish-born morganatic wife of Karol Olbracht Habsburg, mother of Princess Maria Krystyna Habsburg. Alicja Habsburg lived in Zywiec from 1920 to 1945, and during World War II she was a member of the Home Army. Her life-size figure is shown seated, with a handkerchief bearing the Habsburg coat of arms in her hand. The author of the sculpture, made of bronze, is the sculptor Bronisław Krzysztof. The monument, unveiled in February 2012, was created as part of the Miniatures Park project, implemented by the Poviat Starosty in Żywiec.
