Untill the French revolution (1794), the prince bishop used to live in the Palace you see down the street. Some bad minds say his mistresses lived in the elegant houses at the other side of the streets. Anyway, whatever be the thruth, the fact is that the baby mattress is there. The bishop is gone, since more than two centuries. Another proof that even Belgian baby mattresses love to start their street life in front of nice monuments. The finger is not god's finger painted by Michel Angelo, but it's mine.

Wim I think the boyen was at the Dutch side of the Maas.

in 1784 stokkem would be ruled by the prince bishop, I guess, but the boyen probably not

Despite that ultra-bright finger causing me to squint, what a terrific picture. I love how you sprinkle a history lesson in with the streetmattress photo.
