City virgin on top of a fountain in the middle of Deventer town
In 1898 a new monarch from the Orange family was installed as head of state. To celebrate the event, all over the country monuments were erected. In some cities like Rotterdam, Breda and Deventer they still stand. Sometimes removed and then later placed back. In Deventer it disappeared in 1960 to make way for cars, but in 1985 it was decided to place it back. Luckily the lady on top is not Wilhelmina, the monarch linked with colonial war, but the city virgin of Deventer.
