The monument was erected in 1922 to honor the 131 Turnhout soldiers who died in the First World War.
Madelon has been showing off on Zegeplein for years. She had a hard time at times. Her spot in the entertainment district made her desirable to some overconfident revelers. Every now and then someone decided to give her a close hug. That climb didn't always end well, both for the statue and for her worshippers.
The statue has been restored. Thanks to her well-deserved revamp, Madelon is now all set for her 100th birthday in 2022.

The monument has been missing its sword since the 1970s. people keep looking for the authentic sword. The Madelon now has a replica.
