    Hiking

    Coordinates: 51° 08' 34.1'' N - 05° 37' 59.9'' E
    This is the aluminum plate that was used to test whether the calculated center of gravity is actually correct. By balancing the plate at one point, the center of gravity could be determined.
    The real center of gravity of Bree is on the industrial estate at GreenYard (formerly Scana-Noliko), in the corner of the Roermonderstraat domination and above that is our
    with the four-lane road, 't Hasseltkiezel. A 4-meter high screw has been installed that symbolically drills into the ground here.

    At the top of the building of the old town hall is a curious rococo pediment. It was sculpted
    by Ferdinand from Roermond.
    Located on the left side of the pediment
    the coat of arms of Theodore
    of Bavaria (died 1763),
    the then Prince-Bishop of
    Liège, on the right is Bree's coat of arms, which is the mirror image of the current one.
    In the center is the Austrian eagle, as a reference to Austrian rule and above it is the patron saint Saint Michael with the dragon.

    A beautiful rococo pediment adorns the facade of the old town hall of Bree. It features a relief depicting the battle of Saint Michael, patron saint of Bree, with the dragon, as well as three coats of arms: that of Bree, that of the Austrian emperor, and that of Johan Theodoor van Beieren, the then prince-bishop of Liège.
