Long Vapper Monument

Monument to the Long Vapper was built in 1963 by the sculptor Albert Poulsen.
Vapper - is a folklore character. Thin, tall eccentric villain and prankster, about the tricks that many legends. He could be brought before the townspeople like a giant step over the house, disguised baby to drink breast milk. There is a theory that it was the richest resident of Antwerp , who sold his soul to the devil. He loved to make mischief in the dark. Especially from his battered drunken revelers who loved Vapper scare.
Such educational measures were to the liking of the people of Antwerp, and they decided to put a not very friendly character monument at the Castle Walls , where, according to legend, he lived. The city has a puppet theater, which is named after the Long Vapper. This is also devoted to modern hero comics Willie Vanderstena series "Syuske and whiskey."
