Unfortunately you can no longer drink or eat anything at the Volksabdij, only at the expensive Jagersrust 😒

Rudi Devoght's artwork is an ode to the three villages, while the surrounding fountain refers to the nearby Scheldt River. The monument is 2.80 meters high and adds a special touch to the square. It was officially inaugurated on November 19, 2008. The structure consists of a fountain with three water jets, symbolizing the three polder villages. In the center of the fountain stands a young boy gazing into the distance. He looks toward the future alongside the stream. This boy represents Lillo. A sturdy man with tools toils in the heavy polder soil, symbolizing Berendrecht. A slender woman from Zandvliet and a lapwing represent the spirit of mobility. Just as the polder villages form a single whole, these three figures represent a harmonious family. Above these three figures stands a kind of dome made up of about forty old rakes. Residents were asked to bring old rakes, rakes, and axes. Rudi Devoght's use of old, reclaimed materials makes each artwork unique and exudes a sense of dimension.

In the context of the fiftieth anniversary of the Berendrecht-Zandvliet-Lillo district, the Varkensmarkt was redesigned in 2008. Rudi Devoght created “Een vaste relatie bij de Schelde” to symbolize the three villages. The construction consists of a fountain with three water jets, which symbolize the three polder villages. In the middle of the fountain, a little boy is staring into the distance. He is looking next to the stream towards the future. That boy represents Lillo. A sturdy man with tools is struggling in the heavy polder soil and symbolizes Berendrecht. A slim Zandvliet woman and a lapwing represent the mobility. Just as the polder villages form one whole, these three figures represent a harmonious family. Above these three figures is a kind of dome consisting of forty old rakes. The residents were asked to bring old rakes, rakes and axes. The use of old, used materials makes each work of art by Rudi Devoght unique and radiates a dimension of work.

This cannon was used by the Germans in Ossendrecht. Put out of action on October 6, 1944, when a young German conscript soldier was killed. DEACTIVATING A CANNON: At the end of the war, on October 6, 1944 to be exact, Jac van Dooren was sitting in the living room in the morning when he suddenly heard noise on the street. He looked through the window and saw German soldiers riding through the street with a cannon. He quickly put on his coat, went outside immediately and inconspicuously followed the Germans with the cannon. This cannon was driven into the O.L.Vrouw ter Duinenlaan behind the home of the Van den Eijnden Mous family and positioned between the home and the river De Heiloop. Jac, who was in the resistance, knew that two resistance fighters were in hiding with this Van den Eijnden family. He knocked on the door and was let in. Hidden behind the curtains, the three resistance fighters followed the actions of the Germans at the cannon. They saw how the tired-looking soldiers set up the cannon and to their surprise they also saw that the soldiers immediately got into a vehicle and drove away. The cannon and the 2 machine guns were left unguarded by the Germans. As it turned out later, the soldiers had driven to the water pumping station to quickly eat and drink something. Jac and his 2 mates immediately took action. Jac, who was a blacksmith by trade, quickly managed to disable the cannon by removing the breech, after which he carried this heavy block of metal to the Heiloop river, which was a bit further away, and hid it in the river there. In the meantime, his two companions had grabbed the 2 machine guns, after which the three of them returned to the home of the Van den Eijnden family as quickly as they could. In the afternoon the Allies continued their advance and the Germans, leaving behind the disabled cannon, retreated further towards Hoogerheide, which meant that Ossendrecht was liberated from this moment on. On 7 October 1944 Jac went to get the breech from the Loopke and stored it in his workshop. When the municipality of Ossendrecht started using the abandoned cannon as a war memorial, Jac notified the municipality that the breech could be picked up at his home, which was done.
