In this garden, you'll find sculptures by Jan Desmarets, whose studio is located directly opposite in Rohoek (hence the perhaps initially nonsensical title of this highlight, "Rohdek Sculpture Garden"). Incidentally, there are two more sculptures by him on that driveway (which incorporates his name).
Jan Desmarets (born Ypres, 1961) always works with bronze. His best-known works are undoubtedly the Ros Beiaard (Carriage Horse) in Dendermonde, the sculpture "Waregem Koerse" (naturally in Waregem), and—commissioned by the then (2003) federal government—the wedding gift for Prince Laurent and Princess Claire.
Elsewhere here on Komoot, you'll also find a highlight, "De Dikke van Sesjans," a sculpture by Desmarets that you'll encounter on a walk in Lierde.
