Monument to Baron Emil Brown
Dok-Noord 10-30, 9000 Gent, Belgium
Description:
Monument to Baron Emil Brown is a small and rather unusual monument, which is located in one of the many squares of the city. It is a composition of five mourning figures that surround a granite well.
The monument is dedicated to one of the mayors of the city - the young Baron Emil Brown, who died at the age of 26. There is no reliable record of what the Baron did for the city at such a young age. However, apparently, the townspeople sincerely mourned for their mayor, whose memory was immortalized in the monument.
