Flora & Fauna
The city coat of arms, with its tree of life, with the deer and the doe surrounding it, is the source of inspiration for the fountain in Hindeloopen. The tree symbolises the energy of life, but also stands for wisdom. The deer and the doe feed on this. Now wondrous exotic birds sit in the tree. When you sit on the big, wooden antlers that surround the tree, you can see how they ‘talk’ to each other in waterspouts. About us?
Shen Yuan
Shen Yuan (1959) is one of the few female Chinese artists who has broken into the international art world. In all her work she shows that cultures constantly influence each other, but that you do not have to deny your background. In her work you always find traces of traditional Chinese art combined with impressive craftsmanship. All this fits seamlessly with Hindeloopen’s distinctive, and yet open culture.
Tip: Combine your visit to the 11fountains with a city walk. A walking route through Hindeloopen along all the highlights of the city that you must have seen during your visit.

Hemelsbreed honderd meter van de Johanneskerk vind je in Oosthem nog een godshuis: de Gereformeerde Kerk (tegenwoordig ‘t Anker) uit 1897. Zo fors als de eerste uitviel, zo klein en bescheiden is deze kerk.
