Witch circle: ceramic sculpture circle

Highlight • Monument

Circle of 20 colorful ceramic posts, made by final exam candidates of the secondary horticultural school Aalsmeer (Florenscollege; now the Wellant College) on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the secondary horticultural school in 1997. The posts are different in color and shape and decorated with flower - and plant motifs. To obtain a unity they are placed in a circle. Circles had both a protective and celestial meaning in ancient times, hence the mystical title 'Witch's Circle'
