Edo-Wiemken-Grabmal, Sepulchral monument in Stadtkirche Jever, Germany
The memorial consists of a white marble sarcophagus with ornaments under a two-story wooden canopy supported by caryatids representing different values.
Between 1561 and 1564, Maria von Jever commissioned this monument for her father Edo Wiemken, the last male ruler of the Jever territory.
The monument exemplifies Flemish Mannerism architecture through its design by Heinrich Hagart, a student of Antwerp architect Cornelis Floris II.
Visitors can access the memorial during church opening hours, with regular free guided tours provided by the congregation.
The monument survived two church fires in 1728 and 1959 because it was hidden behind a stone wall that functioned as a firewall.
