    Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck, two folk heroes of the Battle of the Golden Spurs in 1302, are known far beyond the borders of Bruges. It should therefore come as no surprise that the two heroes were immortalized with a statue in 1887 on the Markt in Bruges.

      The statue of Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck, the two local folk heroes who played a major role in the Flemish resistance against the French king in 1302, resulting in the Battle of the Golden Spurs. The statue was erected in 1887, the period of historical romanticism. Due to the friction between the Flemish Breydel Committee and the French-speaking city council, the statue was inaugurated twice: on July 11, 1887 and between August 14 and 22, 1887.

        In the middle of the market square there is a monument from 1887 and commemorates Jan Breydel and Pieter de Conink. Both were at the forefront of the uprising of the citizens of Bruges against the French in 1302. They are therefore considered folk heroes.
