MANNEKEN-PIS
The most famous Brussels citizen has been peeing on the corner of Rue du Chêne and Rue de l'Etuve for centuries and continues to amaze.
This famous statuette was created by Jérôme Duquesnoy, a renowned 17th-century sculptor. His style is in the tradition of gaillardes fountains. The artist gave a baroque interpretation of the urinating child motif. A Brussels citizen in his own right, he is associated with the city's events, for which he is usually dressed. From time to time, the flowing water is replaced by beer.
Manneken-Pis has a less media-friendly but equally cheeky little sister, Jeanneke-Pis, crouched at the end of the impasse de la Fidélité.
