Haarlem

Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer & Wigbolt Ripperda statue (2013)
Large bronze statue of two historical figures, ready to fight off the Spaniards during the Siege of Haarlem (1572~1573). Kenau was known for her fearlessness, and governor Wigbolt for inspiring citizens to defend the city. To brighten up the newly designed square (by a Spanish(!) architect in 2009) in front of Haarlem central station. A not so fearsome statue though.

Pretty tough-looking couple, but it sounds like they had to be. Thank you again for the narrative. It adds so much to the enjoyment of the image. V

It's quite an attractive statue, as is your capture of it. Interesting about the Spanish architect! V.
