Tremelo gets colour. The 'flower' of Tremelo.

In 2021, a Tremelo resident approached the alderman with the question: "Shouldn't we do something about those gloomy electricity boxes?". And that was the beginning of an enthusiastic, but also laborious project to beautify sixteen utility boxes. Sixteen artists set to work in the summer of 2016, each with their own inspiration and ideas. The cabinet we see here was painted by a granddaughter of the woman who was called 'the flower of Tremelo', a lady whose beauty has made several men's hearts beat faster.
