Once a year, a full heart appears in this tomb.

A breathtaking mausoleum born from a sculptor’s deep sorrow for his late wife 🧵 Image
This is the final resting place of Léonce Evrard and his wife (1850-1916) at the Cimetière de Laeken in Brussels.

During the summer solstice, and a few days before and after June 21, sunlight streams through the roof, casting a heart-shaped pattern inside the burial chapel. Image
Evrard, a marble sculptor renowned for his expertise in stone ornaments, was profoundly affected by the passing of his wife, Louise Flignot.

As a tribute to their love, he commissioned this unique mausoleum in her memory, a symbol that transcends the boundaries of death. Image
