    The statue of the Van Eyck brothers immediately attracts attention. Jan and Hubert Van Eyck are internationally known for painting The Ghent Altarpiece and were probably born in the city of Maaseik. In 1864 they received a white marble statue. None other than Leopold I personally came to Maaseik for the solemn inauguration.
    If you stand in front of the statue, you will see white Maas boulders on the right that indicate part of the foundations of the gewanthuis, the first town hall. The city council met here and goods were traded under the building, which stood on stilts. It was already mentioned in 1347 and was owned by the Count of Loon.
