Tips
The Stone Man on the Westerzeedijk in Harlingen is a replica of a monumental boundary marker that was placed in 1576 to mark the center of the Vijfdeelenzee dikes. This Renaissance-style border marker was inspired by the Roman gods Terminus, of the border, and Janus, of the beginning and the end. The official name was Terminus, but popular usage turned it into Stone Man.
