The construction of the world’s tallest sandcastle was completed in Denmark this week.
The sandcastle stands around 69 feet tall and was made with about 5 000 tonnes of sand. The sandcastle is almost 10 feet taller than the one that was built in Germany in 2019, that had held the previous Guinness World Record.
The sandcastle was created by Wilfred Stijger, a Dutch artist, with the help of 30 other sand sculptors.
According to Stijger, the sculpture is supposed to represent “the power the coronavirus has had over the world since the beginning of the pandemic. It’s ruling our lives everywhere. It tells you what to do … It tells you to stay away from your family and not go to nice places. Don’t do activities, stay home.”
The sandcastle depicts the virus sitting atop the structure like a crown.
The sandcastle is also made of clay and a layer of glue to help it withstand unstable weather. The sandcastle is expected to remain standing until February or March of 2022.
