Gerhard Stelzhammer is born in Graz and since 2009 he lives and works on the island of Crete in Paleochora. His creations are marble, alabasta or as of late, wood. As an artist it was his dream to present art in nature and so he realized this in 2012 with his Sculpture Garden in Kondoura. In 2012 he created a sculpture garden in Kondoura. After moving to Anidri he opened officially the new sculpture garden in June 2018. Under old olive trees you will see his sculptures in a more nicer atmosphere. He offers also workshops for wood or stone.

Opening time for the sculpture garden: 9am – 1pm and 3pm – 9pm

In 2013 he created the „Astrini„, the woman, who looks to the stars about Paleochora. The marble, Untersberger marble, came from an old castle out of Salzburg, Austria. It is one of Paleochora’s landmarks which stands on the promenade at the sandy beach side of town. www.gerhard-stelzhammer.at
