Manneken Pis in BrusselsPhoto: ZENPAKU, Adobe Stock
The Manneken Pis, also called Petit Julien, is a 61cm high bronze statue at a fountain in Brüssel.
The original figure was erected in 1619 by sculptor Jérôme Duquesnoy. The Manneken Pis is said to have been inspired by the legend of the little boy Julianske. He allegedly urinated on an already burning fuse and thus prevented the city walls from being blown up. Another legend says that a boy got lost in the city centre and was found urinating on the corner of a street.
Since the bronze statue has already been stolen seven times and broken several times, the original has since been replaced by a replica. This is dressed up for various occasions, such as holidays or anniversaries. The original can be seen in the museum of the city of Brüssel.
