Lichttorenplein - Gert Verhoeven

About the artwork

The old 1872 lighthouse was demolished in 1954. However, it has now risen from the ashes to be admired in all its glory on the completely redesigned Lichttorenplein. The square itself is paved in pink, with the water emanating from the fountain also pink.
