If the tree is a locust, it could either be the black locust, Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia' or the honey locust, Gleditisia triacanthos 'Sunburst' (or a similar cultivar). Both are quite eye-catching in the landscape. Frisia is widely planted throughout Europe where it tends to maintain its color better because of the compartively cooler summers.
