Statue of Willem Lodewijk of Nassau-Dietz (Dillenburg 1560 – Leeuwarden 1620), the first stadtholder of Friesland and nicknamed “Us heit” (Our father). Willem Lodewijk is depicted as an army commander, in armor with a command staff in his right hand and his left hand on the hilt of his sword. The statue stands on a pink granite pedestal.

The statue stands in front of the palace in Leeuwarden, where Willem Lodewijk lived. This is now the hotel-restaurant Stadhouderlijk Hof.

There is a Bible at the feet of the Frisian stadtholder. Because he was a Protestant and fought for freedom of his and other religions. There is a helmet with an open visor on the Bible. That is to say: 'I am ready for battle'. In his hand he has a command staff. This shows that he is a leader of the State army.
