Description

Opført vest for pladsområdet, som en hyldest til denne vigtige 19. århundrede Leuven politiker og industriemand - grundlæggeren af den kendte ris- og stivelsesfabrik i Wijgmaal -, social velgører, mecenas og stifter af forskellige filantropiske institutioner. Monumentet blev designet af arkitekt Victor Horta (1861-1947), en central figur i den belgiske art nouveau; skulpturen er skabt af den kendte brusselanske billedhugger Pieter Braecke (1858-1938), ven af Horta. Det blev udført i blå hårdsten, granit og bronze: trappet basis med bred sokkel og højt sokkelelement, hvorpå der er en skulptureret buste og inskriptionen "Edouard Remy - 1813-1896". På begge sider en social evokation med allegoriske kvinde-, mand- og børnefigurer, der fra venstre til højre viser følgende inskriptioner: "Bouchée de pain - Ouvriers sans travail - Hospice des incurables - Asile de nuit - Crèche - Oeuvres Scolaires". Omkring et delvist beplantet anliggende, der er afgrænses af en skifer kant med forfinet støbejernsgitter.
