The Burghse Chair of Daan van Loenhout - Historic...

Unveiled on 13 September 2017, De Burghse Zetel van Daan van Loenhout is a public artwork on Texel’s Vismarkt in Den Burg, positioned beside De Waag. This aluminium and cast-concrete seat was gifted to the village by the Texelfonds and features two aluminium lion cubs, an anchor motif on the backrest, and a wind rose inlaid with the names of Texel’s other villages.

The sculpture’s maritime symbols and communal references make it a distinctive landmark in Den Burg. As it stands in an open public space, visitors can admire it at any time. For further details on its design or background, refer to the Wikipedia entry.
