Description

Nel 1908, la piazza rotonda all'incrocio tra Rue du Château e Rue Leopold de Wael ricevette un nome proprio, dedicato al barone F.A. Lambermont (1819-1905) recentemente scomparso. Egli era segretario generale degli Affari Esteri, una carica con la quale nel 1863 riuscì a liberare l'alto dazio sul fiume Schelda dai Paesi Bassi. Questo evento storico è un tema ricorrente nel Sud, tradotto in numerosi nomi di strade e in alcuni grandi monumenti. Per la scultura in onore di Lambermont, nel 1910, la Fédération des Associations Commerciales et Industrielles de Belgique indisse un concorso di progettazione. I progetti furono esposti nel Parco del Giubileo di Bruxelles. Fu realizzato il progetto eccezionale e neobarocco dello scultore Léandre Grandmoulin e dell'architetto F. Van Holder. Il 14 agosto 1912, alla Lambermontplaats, in presenza del re Alberto e della regina Elisabetta, fu svelata un'imponente scultura in onore di Lambermont. Nella simbologia dell'opera scultorea, il fiume Schelda e la liberazione del dazio giocano un ruolo importante.
