Today, a rectangular square on the Kleine Nete river, characterized by austere, often adapted workers' housing, dating from the second half of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th century. Historical context: Until 1828, the "Sions Molenbergh" (Sion's Mill Hill) with the old "Sionsmolen" (Sion's Mill), also called "Clausgommaersmolen" or "Onze-Lieve-Vrouwemolen" (Our Lady's Mill), was located here. It was already mentioned in 1415; it has been owned by the Sionsklooster (Sion Monastery) since the end of the 17th century. It was seized and sold by the French in 1799. The leveling of the mill hill and the ramparts created the Sionsplein (Sion Square), aptly named after the former mill. Source: Inventory of Immovable Heritage

Where does the name "De Schapenkoppen" (Sheep's Heads) come from? According to legend, the name "Schepenkoppen" (sheep's heads) originated in the 14th century. Duke John II, Duke of Brabant and Limburg, wanted to thank the people of Lier for their contribution to the fight against the people of Mechelen. They were given a choice of two rewards for the city: a university or a cattle market. The people of Lier chose the staple rights to cattle. A choice that proved beneficial for Lier, as only one city per region was granted such a right. The cattle market, which had previously been located in Wespelaar, was promptly moved to Lier on the Duke's orders. Duke John II is said to have sighed at the occasion: "Oh, those sheep's heads!" The university, the reward Lier had neglected, eventually went to Leuven. This gave Leuven the first university in the Low Countries in 1425.
