The Mispelplein is a special part of Doetinchem where art, history, and symbolism come together. The square is inspired by the medlar flower, which has been part of the city coat of arms of Doetinchem for centuries. Anyone looking at the square from above will see that even the shape of the square represents a medlar flower.
In the center of the artwork are 99 cast-iron tiles with medlar flowers, designed by artist couple Anne and Jeroen Kortekaas. According to their idea, every visitor symbolically forms the hundredth medlar flower: "The 100th medlar flower is you."
