Vandring
This impressive wrought iron cannon weighs 12,500 kg and is popularly known as Dulle Griet (evil woman).
However, the cannon had little more than a big mouth, because it never fired. Because it was used too often as a garbage can or a sleeping place for drunks (the café of the same name, De Dulle Griet, prides itself on selling more than 250 types of beer), the barrel was permanently closed off a few years ago.

Dulle Griet is a monumental iron bombard in the Belgian city of Ghent. Because of its original red colour, the cannon was also traditionally called the groten rooden duyvele (great red devil). The bombard dates from 1431 and was probably made by Jean Cambier, the great arms supplier of the Burgundian Duke Philip the Good. It was brought to Ghent in 1578 together with other weapons from Oudenaarde to be used there in the battle against the Spanish. It is unclear whether the cannon was stolen or received.
