National Monument

Painter born in +/- 1530 and died in 1569. In 1926, the then famous Flemish writer Felix Timmermans unveiled the bluestone monument made to the design of the architect A.J. Kropholler. 

Across the street is a bust of Pieter Brueghel, unveiled in 1996 and created by J. Couwenbergh. Right next to the square are plots of land to which Pieter Brueghel's name has traditionally been attached.
