    It is an interesting sculpture by Luk Van Soom, who created the bronze sculpture in 1996.
    I liked the sculpture and lingered at the Mönchsturm, as the building in Hammelburg is called. Luk Van Soom comes from the Belgian city of Tumhout. In his work, dreams and reality come together; inspired by myths, magic and stories, he creates his own world, which he integrates into the real, everyday environment. In the case of Romeo and Juliet, the medieval monk's tower is appropriate. The figure was purchased in 1999 by innkeeper Helmut Emmert and loaned to the city of Hammelburg.
