    You can view this impressive sculpture at the roundabout in Zichem, at the end of Pater Richard Vande Wouwerstraat. It is the statue of the Spanish knight Don Jon (Don Juan). The name is a play on words. A keep is a castle tower. The statue itself symbolizes the courageous resistance of the city's inhabitants against the Spanish conquerors.
