The place we stay is named Leersum; the next information I googled:
Leersum is traditionally a sheep village and by placing the sheep on the roundabout, it seems like you are driving your car through a sheep herd.
On behalf of the municipality, the local artist Van Swieten made a number of experimental models in different materials: steel, clay and boulders.
"The choice fell immediately on the sheep from boulders, the other sheep were no longer looked at."
Boulders are also found in Leersum, so that fits well here.
The sheep are also in some private gardens. In small, they are for sale at the local tourist office.
Just outside Leersum is also an old sheepfold with accompanying sheep herd. This has been maintained by volunteers since 1973.
Johnalex, is this what you meant with talking about sheep?
