One of the most impressive views in Vienna, with the Opera house in the background. Good spot for taking nice pictures in the evening.

This monument stands in tribute to Archduke Albrecht and second son of Archduke Karl and Henriette of Nassau-Weilburg. He is noted for his military success against the then emerging Prussian state.

The monument is a bronze equestrian sculpture of Albrecht wearing his field marshals uniform. His left hand is holding the reins of his horse, while his right holds the marshal’s baton. The sculpture is larger than life and depicts Albrecht at his most impressive.

The monument is located at the Albertina, on the Augustinian Bastion just outside the entrance on the upper level, but you’ll likely spot it if walking towards the art gallery as it’s pretty high up.

It is a nice vantage point overlooking the opera. There is an escalator going up. Nice viewpoint. Good people watching.

There are many equestrian statues which can be seen around Vienna, including that of Archduke Albert (Erzherzog Albrecht) which is located on the upper-floor outdoor area in front of the entrance to the Albertina Museum. The statue overlooks Albertina-platz and can be seen clearly from this area.

Archduke Albert (1847-1895) served notably in the Austria-Hungary army. His monument was designed by German sculptor Kaspar von Zumbusch in 1898-99 and depicts the Archduke in military attire, riding his horse confidently. He seems to be peering into the distance. The statue is situated upon a oval shaped pedestal with decorative bronze reliefs on each side.

Take a few minutes to view an enjoy this monument before entering Albertina Museum, if you enjoy this time of sightseeing during your travels.
