This wooden statue stands in Roermond next to the Munsterkerk. And concerns Count Gerard III and Margaret of Brabant.
It is a lovely statue and therefore has a beautiful text on a copper plate which reads as follows:
"Where past and present meet, eternal love can awaken in softness".
The Munsterkerk at the Munsterplein in Roermond, together with the Sint Janskerk in Nieuwstadt, forms the only example in the Netherlands of a church in restoration late Romanesque style, and hereby belongs to the Rhineland Romanesque group. The official name of the church is Onze Lieve Vrouwe Munsterkerk. The name munster comes from the Latin monasterium meaning monastery and thus indicates that the church was originally an abbey church.
