I believe I once wrote about it. If you arrive by train in Den Bosch (official name 's Hertogenbosch, the Wood of the Duke's or Better: Duke Bosch van Drakenstein...) and leave Central Station you see a roundabout with this Dragon on top. I would love to have it but I cannot climb up that pillar. No gold, but it shines 😄
The dragon is a fountain but the water never flows. The family name of the Duke was: Bosch Van Drakenstein (Draken means dragon). The place its name was also called (because it was a swamp) Swamp Dragon by poets and historians.
So the dragon is part of the family name (paid by the family and present since 1903), part of the story of the city defended by the swamp (dragon) against intruders and the sign of the weapon of the family and the city.
Wow. That's quite a story. Thanks for the info on your entry. A pity the water doesn't flow from the dragon. Perhaps a good promotional stunt for the place is instead of water let fire spew out of it! You know, put a gas pipe through the mouth and at certain times of the day turn on the gas and ignite it. That would be really cool although I don't know if the local fire ordinance will allow such a thing lol. Thanks for joining again and inviting your friends. 😊
