Object address: Embankment of Danė River, Klaipeda, Lithuania

Municipality: Klaipėda

On 4 July 2014 in Kliapėda, on the embankment of Danė River there was „planted“ „Tree of love“, which is designed to hang the lovers‘ certificates of their love – locks. In the following way an attempt to save the old Biržos drawbridge from corrosion is made, because it was mounted a hundreds of locks on it.

Composition „Tree of love“ was created in summer 2013 in International Blacksmiths Symposium „The Four Winds“. It was attended by a couple dozen blacksmiths from Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine and the Czek Republic.

This idea came to them because of persistent complaints for that locks, which are hung on handrails of restored Biržos bridge, constantly corrode and damage structures of centenarian drawbridge.
