Haarlem, Netherlands
Kruisweg 11
N/A
An interesting monument to see in Haarlem is that of Kenau and Ripperda at Stationplein in front of the Haarlem rail station. These were two key figures in the defence of Haarlem during the Spanish siege of the city in 1572-73. The monument is the work of sculpture Graziella Curreli and was erected here around 2010. What you see is a fine figure of Captain Wigbolt Ripperda who is in holding a pike. Next to him is the figure of Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer, who is standing proudly, tucking her hair into hat. They stand back to back yet looking forward in the same directly. The monument is a nice image and something worth spending a few minutes to enjoy and learn about, particularly if you are unfamiliar with the Spanish conflict with the Dutch in what is known as the 80 year war.

Un bel monumento vicino alla stazione Sono stato a vedere questo monumento con la mia ragazza durante una gita ad Haarlem, cittadina olandese vicino ad Amsterdam. La scultura si trova nella piazza della stazione ferroviaria ed è in una zona pedonale. Il monumento rappresenta due contadini olandesi vestiti con gli abiti tipici. Si tratta di una scultura che difficilmente passerà inosservata al vostro arrivo ad Haarlem via treno.
