Graaf Adolfmonument, War memorial in Heiligerlee, Netherlands
The Graaf Adolf Monument features a stone sculpture depicting Count Adolf of Nassau and multiple symbolic figures representing the Dutch struggle for independence.
The memorial marks the location of the 1568 Battle of Heiligerlee, where Count Adolf of Nassau died fighting against Spanish forces during the Dutch Revolt.
The monument includes representations of the Dutch Virgin and Leo Belgicus, reflecting the national identity and resistance against foreign occupation in the Netherlands.
Visitors can find the memorial at Provincialeweg 5 in Heiligerlee, with the site remaining accessible throughout the year for historical exploration.
During the 1873 inauguration ceremony, King William III planted a black poplar tree near the monument, which has grown to become one of Groningen's largest trees.
