Frequently Asked Questions
I was rather unlucky: shortly after I attached my own "love lock" to the Pont des Arts in Paris, France (in June 2015), the authorities removed all the locks from the bridge. While I understand that they caused various issues—ranging from environmental concerns and risks to structural integrity to challenges in urban management—which is why the local authorities had to take them down, I still didn't want my personal memento to be treated that way. That is what motivated us to create this platform.
🌉 Structural Risks: The heavy load of thousands of locks poses a collapse or damage risk; rust and corrosion rapidly degrade surfaces.
🏙️ Visual & Environmental Pollution: Uneven locks create visual clutter; throwing keys into rivers causes environmental pollution.
🌍 High Costs & Management Challenges: Removal and maintenance are expensive (e.g., Paris spent tens of thousands of euros); overcrowding impairs the travel experience.
🚫 Enforcement Measures: Major cities (Paris, Seoul, Cologne) are removing locks, erecting barriers, and enforcing bans to protect heritage and the environment.
➡️ Our platform was created to address these issues. By digitizing these locations and the padlocks themselves, we offer a curated list of 15 iconic sites across 15 countries where you can permanently attach your love padlock—without the risk of it being removed or causing damage to protected architectural landmarks.
💌 Love Lock Garden aspires to become a global symbolic destination for couples who wish to preserve their love in a sustainable and respectful way. Our mission is to provide a licensed,
well-planned, and protected space where love locks can be hung permanently—without harming architectural heritage or the nvironment. Through this platform, we aim to spread a message of love while promoting public awareness about preserving cultural landmarks and urban landscapes.
🌟 More than that, we aspire to be a bridge—a trusted companion that helps you share messages of love, heartfelt wishes, or warm greetings with someone special anywhere in the world. That person could be your partner, spouse, child, parent, or anyone you hold dear.

🌍 Why is it called “Carrying Love Across Half the Globe”?
💞 This phrase holds symbolic and emotional meaning. It represents the act of sending love across vast distances—transcending geography, time, and space.
📩 Even if your loved one is thousands of kilometers away, you can still share a message, a wish, or a blessing through a love lock placed at a meaningful location.
🔗 The platform serves as a bridge, turning heartfelt emotions into tangible gestures, as if your heart travels halfway around the world to reach someone special.
🌐 You can engrave your name on a padlock and have it placed at famous love landmarks around the world without being physically present. For example, even if you live in the United States or Canada, you can still hang a padlock at the Love Harbor in Vietnam—halfway across the globe—without the need for costly travel. Currently, the service is available in 15 major countries and will continue to expand.
No, this platform doesn’t simply sell love padlocks. Instead, it offers personalized service packages that turn each padlock into a meaningful gift. We will hang the padlock on your behalf at one of 15 iconic locations around the world—even if it’s halfway across the globe.
Afterward, we’ll provide you with:
- A photo of your padlock after it’s been placed
- A pinned location and image on Google Earth
- A confirmation that your padlock has been officially hung
🎁 Right now, the love lock itself is free. All you need to do is choose a personalization package for your lock.
🌍 We offer 15 famous locations worldwide where couples can hang their love padlocks. This allows them to freely choose a romantic spot without worrying about the locks being removed or causing any impact on protected architectural structures.
