이 Ros Beiaard 조각상을 만든 예술가 Jan Desmarets(°Ieper, 1961)는 2003년 당시 벨기에 총리 Guy Verhofstadt로부터 Laurent 왕자와 Claire 공주를 위한 결혼 선물을 만들라는 의뢰를 받았습니다. 같은 예술가의 작품 중 많은 등산객에게 익숙한 것은 Hemelveerdegem의 "Den Dikken van Sesjans"(종마)와 Waregem의 "Waregem Koerse"(말(들?))입니다. 동물은 Desmarets의 작품에서 중요한 위치를 차지합니다. 동부 플랑드르 Zomergem(Lievegem)의 Rohoek에 있는 조각 정원에서도 이 남자의 작품으로 가득 찬 것을 확인할 수 있습니다: https://www.komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/3231470

Hikers frequently encounter monuments in villages and towns, commemorating the victims of wars – especially the two horrific world wars of the first half of the 20th century. Many people were called to arms to defend their country, and many paid for this commitment with their lives. Even a century later, these memorials remain important and carry a message that is still relevant today: their enduring purpose is to keep the memory alive and thus serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving peace.

This neoclassical triumphal arch was built in 1822 as part of the Wellington Barrier, a defensive line against France under Dutch rule. Designed by Captain-Engineer Cornelis Alewijn, it served as the entrance to the fortified town of Dendermonde.

🚢 The museum is working on the reconstruction of a historic botter - a traditional Dutch fishing vessel - called Rosalie, a project that is reviving traditional shipbuilding.

Excerpt from "Walking in Scheldt Country – Centenary of the Great War." Dendermonde – a ruin on the Scheldt and Dender rivers. The brutal entry at the Brussels Gate The restored city gate is one of the most striking features of the old fortified town of Dendermonde. It provides access to the city park. German troops entered the city for the first time through the passage next to the Brussels Gate. From the early morning of September 4, 1914, they advanced from Aalst and Lebbeke. Civilians were taken hostage, tortured, and murdered. At the earthen ramparts of the Brussels Gate, they encountered the Belgian soldiers tasked with defending their city. To their horror, they saw the German troops chase civilians before them like human shields. The hostages were even forced to lie down on the ground so the Germans could hide behind them while they fired. The Belgian soldiers tried to spare the hostages, but the Germans shot right through them with their cannons.
