The very diverse and sometimes surprising costumes of this Manneken Pis can be admired in the tourist office a little further on. Highly recommended!

Manneken-Pis of Geraardsbergen is a well-known 15th-century statue in Geraardsbergen. It is part of a fountain on the Market Square near Geraardsbergen Town Hall. The residents of Geraardsbergen placed the statue of a urinating boy on a fountain in 1459, replacing a statue of a lion stolen by the people of Ghent.
The town was destroyed in 1452. To restore its water system, Geraardsbergen called on the Brussels fountain master Jan van den Schelden, who was commissioned in 1455 to create a lattice mannequin. It was completed in May 1459 by the Brussels brass founder Reinier I of Tienen.

Every day, a hundred tourists come to Brussels to see and photograph the famous Manneken Pis. Yet they are in the wrong place, since the Manneken Pis of Geraardsbergen is the oldest!
Oldest Manneken
Brussels and Geraardsbergen both have a Manneken Pis, but the one in Geraardsbergen is the oldest. By far: it is 160 years different to the one in Brussels. In other words, when the Manneken of Brussels hesitantly started to pee, ours had already filled an entire Dender. Fabrications? No, the truth. Historically proven by city accounts.
