Summary[edit]

Description

Centre - Place du Marché

The stone column came to symbolise local freedom and autonomy (initially bishopric autonomy, later urban autonomy). This stemmed from its function as place where laws were proclaimed and justice was administered. However, the actual origin of the symbols of the column is unclear. In 1467, after recapturing the rebellious city of Liège, Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, had the city's perron dismantled and removed to Bruges, not to be returned until after his death.
