The 'Burghers of Calais' bronze statue, an evocative creation by the legendary Auguste Rodin, is the culmination of masterful craftsmanship.

Historically rooted, the statue depicts a poignant episode from 1347 when King Edward III seized the city of Calais. The six men portrayed in this artwork made the ultimate sacrifice, willingly offering the city’s keys and their very lives to King Edward III. Their act was one of profound courage and selflessness, and Rodin's sculpture immortalizes their heroism and the sacrifices they made for the City of Calais. This piece is not only an artistic marvel but also a powerful historical testament.
