About Steelhenge

Steelhenge is an industrial architectural installation that has been evolving since the winter of 2020. Conceived as a contemporary sacred site in the public domain, it consists of twelve monumental steel pillars called Astrostands. Together, they form an open mythological circle that continues to grow and transform.

Twelve Astrostands rise like ladders toward the sky, reaching beyond boundaries of religion, gender, race, or heritage. Their geometric arrangement traces celestial movements—the dance of the sun, moon, and planets. The ground plan maps cosmic cycles, guiding visitors to moments of eclipse, equinox, and other alignments.

Steelhenge is built around stories of the twelve zodiacal archetypes, which speak a universal and timeless language. Symbols, colors, sound and more surround the visitor. Fire moves occasionally through the installation like a wandering sun, reflecting cycles of light, time, and transformation. The work draws on the subconscious power of symbols, elements, mythology, and celestial data.

At Steelhenge, visitors enter through the star sign under which they were born, symbolically reconnecting with the universe. The installation invites recognition, imagination, participation, and dialogue. It becomes an experience—a reminder that all beings are interconnected.

Henges have long served as gathering places across the world. From Adam’s Calendar in South Africa to Stonehenge in England, Arkaim in Russia, the Ring of Brodgar, Carnac, the Guadalperal dolmen, and sites throughout the ancient Amazon, these structures carry shared human memory. Steelhenge continues this tradition while reimagining it for our time.

Unlike ancient henges, Steelhenge uses modern technology to unlock old stories of the stars and awaken collective memory. It aspires to become a temple of Aquarius, a public sanctuary created for people in an era defined by deep space, digital connection, and shifting identities.

Steelhenge evolves through ongoing research cycles. In 2026, it enters its third phase of development, focusing on Frequency—communication through waves of light and sound. Each phase gathers and shares new cosmic stories with anyone who walks beneath the stars.

Studies suggest that ancient henges were also monuments of peace, uniting different tribes through shared construction and ceremony. Steelhenge carries the same intention. In restless times, it opens space for gathering, dialogue, creativity, and collective wonder.

Steelhenge recalls to a time before clocks and watches, when nature set the measure and time was not currency. It offers a space where meaning, unity, and freedom can be rediscovered—a sanctuary where cosmic cycles resonate with the rhythms of human life.

Steelhenge — Fields of Inquiry

Steelhenge 2026 is the first solo public premiere of research & development since winter 2020. For further growth we aim to gather new communities that desire to help make this temple sustain. A new temple for unification, ritual, celebration, safety and health.

Steelhenge reminds us of the eternal sacred flame of Vesta. Goddess of hearth, home and family. Warm yourselves and bring some firewood!

Helping Steelhenge  organically grow can take many forms & shapes so underneath are some field of inquiry we like to further investigate with the public. Building a temple is not easy and we learn form eachother by trial and error.

Nature is the source of all life, yet ancestral knowledge about cultivating plants for food, medicine, and natural healing is disappearing. Steelhenge aims to preserve and share this wisdom through workshops, lectures, sculpture, and seed-planting initiatives. By reconnecting with natural intelligence, visitors rediscover a vital part of themselves and the ecosystems that sustain them.

Elements and Alchemy teach that all existence arises from the four primary elements—Fire, Earth, Air, and Water—The fifth essence is known as Aether or Akasha. Steelhenge explores and “plays” with these elements to illustrate how they combine and transform. Drawing from both Western and Eastern traditions, Steelhenge reminds visitors that elemental forces shape matter, spirit and experience.

Astrology explores how the positions and movements of celestial bodies may influence life on Earth. It invites us to engage with our intuitive, exploratory selves, offering a language for navigating shifting planetary alignments. Within Steelhenge, astrology personalizes the visitor experience within the circle, cultivating reflection, presence, and a sense of cosmic belonging.

Across history, many cultures have used planetary cycles as guides. Thinkers such as Plato, Kepler, Galileo, Huygens, and Ptolemy deepened humanity’s understanding of the cosmos; artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer turned celestial structure into visual inspiration; and psychologists such as Carl Jung wove astrological symbolism into theories of archetypes. Steelhenge continues this lineage by integrating the study of astrology into its narrative and visitor journey.

Astronomy, the scientific study of celestial bodies and the universe, provides continually expanding insights into formation, motion, measurement, technology, and cosmic evolution. Although astronomy and astrology once shared a common origin, they diverged during the enlightenment and industrial revolution. Steelhenge seeks to bring these two worlds back into dialogue—science and intuition—united by a shared fascination with the stories written in the stars.

Symbolism forms another core field of inquiry at Steelhenge. Symbols bridge conscious and unconscious thought, offering a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries. At Steelhenge, symbols and words deepen the installation’s meaning, and the project actively collects and studies symbolic traditions from around the world to enrich its evolving narrative.

Mythology preserves ancient cultural questions, creation stories, and celestial narratives. Steelhenge research untill today draws inspiration from Celtic sun rituals, Greek and Roman deities, Arabic mathematics Sumerian symbolism such as Behenian stars and their botanical-magical correspondences.  There are beautifull starstories to be told about royal stars and fixed stars and mythology provides an expansive landscape of meaning. As research grows, Steelhenge will continue to incorporate starstories from diverse world cultures so that every visitor can find part of their heritage represented.

Sacred geometry appears and derives from nature and has shaped art and architecture across civilizations. Circles squares, triangles, the golden ratio embedded in sacred sites as pyramids churches, henges. These forms create harmony, balance, and symbolic resonance throughout the structure. What can we learn from this wonderfull knowledge to create a better temple for the world?
