Sculpture Park Engelbrecht, Sculpture garden at Château des Fougis, Thionne, France
The park holds 29 steel sculptures crafted by Erich Engelbrecht, displayed across the grounds surrounding a renovated 16th-century castle in central France.
The Château des Fougis property dates back to the 14th century and underwent reconstruction in 1593 following destruction by fire before becoming an art space.
Each sculpture represents different artistic expressions through steel plates ranging from 5.5 to 35 centimeters thick, manufactured in German steel mills during winter months.
The outdoor sculpture exhibition welcomes public visits throughout the year, while the indoor castle exhibitions require advance reservations to access the collection.
The last sculpture added to the collection, titled Le Nain Tracassin, arrived at the park after the death of artist Erich Engelbrecht in 2011.
