A new shopping complex was opened on a former factory site in 1995. The monumental Ros Beiaard statue was made from reclaimed materials. The rearing horse, with the four Heemskinderen on its back, was realized in a modern stylized manner and unveiled as a 'gift for the people of Dendermonde'.
The twelve-meter-long and seven-meter-high Ros Beiaard statue was designed by interior architect Klaar Teurrekens and architect Fernand Lancksweerd. The framework was assembled under the guidance of Alfons De Maeseneir from reclaimed materials from the former company Trefil-Arbed. The entire structure was clad in sheet steel.
The assembly and shaping was successfully completed by two employees of Boelwerf: welder Hugo Swenne and mechanic Marc Van Poeck. The statue weighs two tons.
