Nick Englebert’s Grandview
Nick Englebert’s Grandview
Physical Address: 7351 State Road 39, Hollandale, WI 53544 (Iowa County)
Description: In 1937, Nick Engelbert began to build an elaborate arched porch of concrete around the front of his farmhouse, ultimately covering every inch of the outside surface of the house with concrete inlaid with shards of china, glass, beads, buttons, and seashells. Over the next 15 years, he created more than 40 concrete sculptures in his yard, combining patriotic themes with imagery from history, fairy tales, mythology, and his own imagination. The grounds are open during daylight hours all year round. Admission to the grounds is free; donations are appreciated.
Caution: Please don’t touch the sculptures. It hurts them, and the shards of glass can hurt you, too. Take your selfie with your favorite sculpture.
