If you have walked through Peldenstraat in Nieuwdorp recently, you have probably already noticed: that bare wall is gone! A colorful mural now decorates the facade, telling the story of the neighborhood.
So how did this artwork come to life? It all started during a community event in October last year, when residents said goodbye to the church. During that gathering, people shared ideas about what the wall should look like. That input has now been turned into an image that connects past, present, and future. 🎨
What you will find in the mural:
- The church, for years the heart of the community
- The mines that provided work and income
- The surrounding greenery and meeting places like De Ster
- Cheerful faces and warm colors showing the strong bond between residents
The mural radiates a positive neighborhood feeling. It is not just about the past, but also about a future with room for growth, while respecting the rich history of Nieuwdorp. A wonderful gift to the community! 🙌
