I suppose that if you've a garden, it isn't fenced this way, 😁 !

In fact it isn't a garden but a small park downtown Brussels in the Brussels 'Petit Sablon' area.

In this 'open air museum' one can find pillars integrated with the fences on which are standing 48 statues representing people having all kind of medieval and later professions. In the center of this small park there's a statue of the 16th century counts named 'Comtes d'Egmont' and 'de Hornes' as well (on this picture it can be seen partly). Around the statue of the Comtes d'Egmont and de Hornes are in a half circle 10 white marble statues of heroes who fought against Spanish tyranny or intellectuals and scientists from the 16th century, e.g. the in that time important humanists Mercator and Ortelius.
