Het Zinneke — Attraction in Brussels

Almost unknown for many people and not on regular tourist map unless somebody is chasing pissing statues in Brussels. Very well crafted bronze statue of a dog pissing on fire hydrant pole. Not a giant statue and chance are that you may miss it even is passing by it. It was damaged by some miscreants when I visited in Sep 2015 and there was a board mentioning it. Now restored back in its position. I propose some tour company can initiate a unique pissing tour in Brussels to follow all artefacts related to pissing: If coming from Bruxelles Central station or Grand Palace: Manneken Pis- Jeanneke Pis- Het Zinneke- Saint Catherine Church If coming from Saint Catherine Metro station: take opposite route Manneken Pis : small statue of a boy pissing, with water flow Jeanneke Pis: small statue of a girl pissing, with water flow Het Zinneke: small statue of a dog pissing (No water flow) Saint Catherine Church: Probably the only religious place on globe where you can piss on the walls (Originator of concept of pissing tour: Sudershan Singh Gusain on 23rd Jun 2020. The idea initiated in Sep 2015 and officially declared on Google Maps in 2020) Be realistic in the expectations about the size of the attractions. The pissing boy, girl and dog are in life size. In each of my visit, I have seen many tourist gasping on the sight of Manneken Pis and most of them exclaiming that they were expecting...

The first morning we were there, a local souvenir shop had dressed it, so it was not visible at all. It is also endlessly fascinating to drunken reveled after dark. If you have plenty of time, you might as well wander by, if you don’t-there is more interesting sculpture...

In the middle of Brussels' historic old town, not far from Manneken Pis and Jeanneke Pis, you will find another bizarre fountain statue: Zinneke Pis. The bronze sculpture, created by Tom Frantzen in 1998, shows a urinating mongrel dog on a pole.

Zinneke Pis, affectionately known as "Köterchen" in Brussels dialect, represents the multicultural and tolerant atmosphere of the city. The name "Zinneke" comes from an old Brussels mutt dog and symbolizes the diverse influences that have shaped the city throughout...
