Golden wings


The Brunswick Monument is a memorial to the Duke of Brunswick who died in Geneva in 1873. He left his fortune to the city on the condition that they erect him a monument even more beautiful than that of the Scaligeri family in Verona. I think the golden-winged angels fit the bill. Photo taken in February 2004.

    That's quite an elaborate gate! I'd say they met The dukes wishes.

    Elaborate! Funny, we have a bowling alley here called Brunswik - didn't know the name had a history behind it.
