The work of art is currently in the wedding room of the town hall, where couples and visitors can take a selfie. According to First Alderman Claude Croes, Niels is honored with this playful wink. In the long term, the statue will have a permanent place in the public space.
Niels Destadsbader often emphasizes his bond with Deerlijk, and the municipality appreciates him as an ambassador. The unique statue is a playful ode to one of the most famous residents of the village.
