The gilded bronze statue, designed by sculptor Oscar Sinia and architect Valentin Vaerwyck, stands on a bluestone plinth bearing the Geraardsbergen coat of arms and the inscription "Geraardsbergen aan het H. Hart 1914-1918."

After more than a century, the Sacred Heart statue had suffered from the effects of time and nature. Out of love for our heritage and to preserve it for future generations, a thorough restoration of the statue and the entire site began in 2023, and was restored with care and respect.
The gilding had deteriorated, cracks in the plinth, and damage to the walls, stairs, and railings detracted from its dignity and appearance. The plinth was completely dismantled and rebuilt, and all components were sandblasted.
