Erected in 1997, the monument features three tall steel columns, each bearing a star to represent the first signatory countries of the Schengen Agreement. The monument commemorates the signing of the historic agreement on 14 June 1985, which took place nearby on the cruise ship M.S. Princesse Marie-Astrid. This site serves as a powerful symbol of European integration and the abolition of internal borders, marking Schengen as a key location in the story of free movement within Europe.
