The sculpture garden:
The sculpture garden features colossal sculptures, from which the joy of life splashes unconcernedly. The sunlight casts beautiful patterns of light and shadow on the polished bronze skin, and the garden's own design and special planting make it a beautiful whole. In the various waterfront seating areas, you can enjoy the interplay of art and nature.
Over the years, the original farmhouse has been converted into an atmospheric museum, with beautiful light and views through to the sculpture garden.
