Statue of Liberty in Colmar, Monument at northern entrance, Colmar, France
The Statue of Liberty in Colmar is a 12-meter resin monument on Route de Strasbourg, standing at the northern city entrance. The structure displays the same proportions and details as the original that Bartholdi created for America.
The town erected this replica in 2004 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Auguste Bartholdi's death. The artist from Colmar had created the famous New York monument in the 19th century.
The replica honors Auguste Bartholdi, who was born in this town and later designed the famous landmark for New York. Passersby see it when entering the city and immediately recognize the connection between this place and the American symbol.
The monument stands freely accessible on a main road and can be viewed from the roadside at any time. Those wanting a closer look will find parking spaces and sidewalks nearby.
The replica bears a green patina that mimics the appearance of the New York original and results from oxidation. Visitors often notice that the torch points upward, exactly as with the real Liberty statue in New York Harbor.
