Veenus Statue Restored to Its Full Glory, "On the Most Beautiful Pedestal You Could Wish For" Two years ago, the residents of Etersheim were shocked by a brazen attempt by criminals to remove the Veenus statue from the dike. They used brutal force to cut through the ankles of the girl depicted, but failed. Yesterday, the statue—restored to its full glory—was unveiled for the second time amidst a large crowd. The statue is securely fastened, and taking it away as the criminals attempted two years ago simply won't work, assures artist Rob Cerneüs. "It's extremely well anchored to the dike." The statue was unveiled in 2021 in pouring rain. Now the sun is shining, and the visitor center of the Etersheimer Braakmolen, now known to the general public as the mill featured in Joost Klein's Eurovision Song Contest video, is bustling. Just like two years ago, Cerneüs has gone to great lengths to accompany the unveiling with song and dance. He busily leads a group of children to the field where they briefly rehearse the dance. "It's quite emotional," he says. "It's overwhelming how many people care about Veenus." Beautiful pedestal The statue now stands on an old section of dike, "the best pedestal you could wish for as an artist," says the artist. He feels tremendously supported by all the parties who made it possible: the residents, the municipality, the water board, and the Markermeerdijken Alliance. "Everyone was on board." A plaque next to the statue reads: "The vulnerable asks for protection so that it can grow as a strong and independent soul." Cerneüs: "That applies to us as people living here below sea level. The landscape is also vulnerable and powerful at the same time. And I never meant it that way, but it also applies to the statue itself."
