Sanctuarium, Cultural heritage sculpture in Stuttgart, Germany
The Sanctuarium consists of 170 steel rods arranged in a circular pattern with a diameter of 11 meters and height of 2.85 meters.
Dutch artist Herman de Vries constructed this installation in 1993 during the International Garden Exhibition, marking a new direction in public art.
The installation represents a protected natural space where vegetation grows freely within the boundary of steel rods topped with gold-plated tips.
Visitors can reach the monument through several paths leading to the northwestern section of the Leibfried Garden, though wheelchair access remains limited.
The structure sparked debates between city maintenance and artistic vision when authorities cut back the dense vegetation growing within its perimeter.
