The "Friesendom" is a sculpture for the victims of past storm surges and a memorial for the constant threat to our coast from the sea.
In the ground plan it forms a cross, which is aligned in the four cardinal directions (cloister). The bronze bell (Die Friesin) in the center begins to ring in gale-force winds and warns - as it has for centuries - people of the storm and the sea.

The "Frisian Cathedral" is a sculpture commemorating the victims of past storm surges and a memorial to the constant threat to our coast from the sea. Its floor plan forms a cross aligned with the four cardinal directions (cloister). The bronze bell (The Frisian Woman) in the center begins to ring during hurricane-force winds, warning people of the storm and the sea—as it has done for centuries.
