    The basis for the Angel is the monument next to the railway bridge in Culemborg. It is part of the bridge that was on that site from 1868 to 1983. It is a symbol of connection and light in the darkness. The 25 meter high angel is the largest Christmas angel in the Netherlands.

    Togetherness
    The image of the Angel has the message of encouraging residents, entrepreneurs and social and cultural organizations and strengthening solidarity.


    Tradition
    Every year the Angel is also illuminated in the month of December. A tradition has emerged. IJsselstein has the largest illuminated Christmas tree, but Culemborg now houses the angel that will be illuminated annually.
